New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Certainly my impression, too...

of at least a couple of the Living Stereo releases (e.g., the Reiner Strauss). The question (raised on this board before) is what RCA was in fact using that third track for...a tantalizing question, given the Mussorgsky SACD's cryptic liner notes, which indicate that the Tchaikovsky "Marche miniature" didn't utilize the third track, perhaps "because the work is scored primarily in the treble register."

I listen exclusively in two-channel, though I've improved phantom-center focus (and, with it, soundstage-wide and -deep cohesiveness) using acoustic treatment (a tandem pair of Tube Traps with diffusors facing outward) centered slightly behind the speaker plane. With this arrangement, the original two-track Living Stereos give up nothing in terms of left-right or front-rear flow, delineation, or articulation to the mixed-down three-tracks.
