RCA sold some SACDs that sounded nicer & fuller than the CDs of the same artist (Rubinstein) claiming that it was using the original masters where some had used a 3 microphone recording. Why the difference as both the SACD & the CD were digitals? The recording engineer and/or the producer wanted to create a certain sound to their tastes. I have a "producer's cut" recording where Emmy Lou Harris sounded from the front speakers while the guitar was coming from the back; does not make sense.

The RCA "Living Stereo" series of SACDs were classical music recordings that were recorded in 3 channel, left, center, right. For CDs you get two channel with the center being mixed equally in right and left. For SACD, you get the full 3.1 channel mix.
