I play the SACD (Decca 470 608-2) in a Marantz SACD player and a Mark Levinson 390S CD player. The sound of the piano is distorted badly. There is no problem in my LINDEMANN CD1 player. Is there anyone encountering the same problem?

Because of this post I played the Chopin recording last evening in my Marantz 8260. I heard no distortion of the piano sound, FWIW.

The three CD players are connected to three HI-FI systems. The problem may not be due to the SACD but other components of the system. I am sure it is an issue for the MARK 390S CD player playing the CHOPIN SACD.
