Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 RCA Living Stereo SACD

you guys are too funny!!!

I have the same disc, I think? Living Stereo, T-6 op74 Boston Sym. Orch. SACD Hybrd. Mine has three formats on it. SACD Surround, SACD stereo and CD Audio.

SACD stereo and Redbook play properly. Can't check surround, I am 5.1 challenged.

None of the Living Stereos are 5.1, in my experience. They are either 3.0/2.0 or just 2.0.

when listening to Jamaican Symphony, it can be anything between 2 channel and 7.1 channel surround. All depends on the quality of grass.

You've all been uber-helpful, if not hilarious, but this problem is no joke. Here's what a reviewer on amazon.com had to say about this disc:

"This SACD title has a major factory defect. The SACD layer is a different recording by a different artist in a completely different genre. In trying to contact BMG, the mother label, I received no response. The defect was the same on 2 separate discs. As for the CD layer, the sound and performance are superb. It is a shame not to be able to hear the improvements on the SACD layer. I have never encountered a blunder this bad from such a major label."

If anyone reading this thread actually knows where I might find a non-defective copy of this disc, I'd appreciate the lead.
