I agree; this is a great recording, and the 3-channel really adds something to the immediacy.

Hello,
I have tried about 20 different SACD titles, and I just don't hear the big deal. I'm just as happy with the stereo version. I really don't hear any improvement in the sound, maybe a slightly different mix, but no real improvment overall in the sound. I like listening to a couple of the JVC XRCD's, but again, they have a different mix than the original, so they will sound different as well.
Am I the only one who feels like this? I know there are many people who enjoy the SACD format, and prefer it over all others, and that's great. I prefer the Mercury's in stereo and since I listen in the nearfield, there's plenty of center information for my tastes.

I have a two channel system so I haven't heard three channel at home.

However, I heard a demo of three channel recordings and liked how the three channel reproduction of recordings made with three omni mics solidly planted the sound and soundstage, at least on that system.
