Very odd to me.  To use an example many people are familiar with, the guitar solo at 4:00 in Pink Floyd's, Money, does not happen.  It is as if the guitar was not recorded. The other guitar solos are there loud and clear.  That particular one is a different sound from the others, and it is silent.  Same SACD in another stereo and it's there.  Lp has same results except it is faintly in the background.  I first noticed this with a Harry James LP.  The trumpet sounded as if it was in a closet with the door shut.  Everything else in the system sounds fine.   I happen to have listened to the Harry James only a few weeks ago and it was excellent (Sheffield Labs Direct to Disc).  When I listen through the headphone jack on the preamp the solo is there.  I have switched out components and eliminated everything except the amp.  I'm using a Mac 402 with Mac C45 preamp.  All other components are high quality.  Anyone have any ideas?
