Skidding SACD

Have any of you have problem with SACD that skids? I bought a SONY Murray Perahia Goldburg Variation that skids every 10-15 seconds starting from the 2nd track. I returned it and the new one skids slightly less but the problem was still there. I have a Marantz SA1 and none of my other 20+ SACDs (mostly SONY) have any problems. By the way, it skids in a very unique way. When it skids, the music doesn't stop. Instead, it was making a bird chirping noise. Have anyone of you have that problem?

Thanks, Bryan, let's wait and see if other users have similar problem.

I had that same issue years ago with an oppo bd83, but doesn't do it now on my McIntosh mvp891. I think it was a Michael Jackson, thriller, disc. Same sound as described up above. I have about 50 discs, no other problems.

The fact that it happened with 2 copies of the SACD and not with any other SACD the OP has would suggest that it is  is a manufacturing issue.

fwiw, I have a Sony redbook CD of Perahia playing the Goldberg Variations that I have owned for almost 20 years, no tracking issues.  I am wondering if it is the same or a new recording

whoa, I just realized that the original post was in 2001...it is probably the same recording....did not know that it was ever issued in SACD
