Has anyone had a problem with their cd player after playing these discs? I played one for the first time (Springsteen/Devils and Dust), and the player (Marantz SACD 8260), had trouble playing the next disc (Dylan/World Gone Wrong redbook cd). Thanks for your help!
Could be your 8260. Out of the blue, mine has started acting up. Bought it used, worked fine for over a year, now all of the sudden it's having trouble reading discs. Especially if they have ANY scratches at all.
I have two players, a SONY SCD-XA9000ES and a Music Hall Maverick. The Sony plays DualDisc about half the time. The Maverick doesn't play them at all. I bought 1 DualDisc (Springsteen) and won't be buying any more. Playing a DualDisc shouldn't, as far as I know, have any effect on any discs you might try to play afterward, unless the disc actually caused problems closing the disc drawer. Then all bets are off.
Isn't "Dual Disc" and "Problem" redundant? Who asked for these things? The more the music industry "progresses", the more I wonder about it all - failed audiophile formats, suing customers, bringing out "CDs" that don't adhere to the redbook standard. You have the malicious Sony virus. I have never tried so hard to be a good customer and been given so many reasons to give up on those efforts. I just love the way music execs have every reason under the sun that their 20+ year old business model doesn't work anymore for reasons other than that they haven't been able to figure out how to adapt.
