Has anyone else noticed sonic "artifacts" in the SACD stereo layer? In particular, I hear weird cracks and pops in "Shelter from the Storm." I've listened on three SACD players, two Sonys and one Oppo, and the noise is there on all three so I doubt it is player-related.

This would indicate that its just your copy.Check for hairline scratches on both top and bottom of the disc for damage at the approriate distance from the centre.Dave

I have that SACD and I listen to the mulichannel layer often, but never the stereo layer. I will check it out and let you know what I find. I have the Oppo DV-980H and Denon DVD-1920 to try.

The cracks and pops are there, my disc is mint, so it is not a physical imperfection with the disc. I played the stereo layer using a Samsung DVD-HD950 and won't bother to check it on others. I don't know whether it is part of the source or just an issue with this SACD. That is an unfortunate minor issue with an otherwise great album and great SACD.
