Yes! I agree with you about the Mercury SACD's and I like them better than the CD's too. And you're right on about the three channels!
It's funny, though - I've read some opinions which are just the opposite of ours. I think some listeners were bothered by the fact that the 35mm magnetic film recordings were converted to 24/176 PCM (if I remember correctly) before being converted to SACD, and thus were not "pure" analogue to DSD efforts that the normal magnetic tape to SACD productions were. In any case, there weren't that many 35mm magnetic film recordings included among the 50 discs (11 or so out of 50).
