[quote user="steverino"]Generally I agree that Mono recordings are only preferable when the stereo recording is messed up in some way.[/quote]I would assume this is a popular viewpoint, and easily agreed with, when the goal is to reproduce as closely...

[quote user="AOK_Farmer"]We might well have settled with Mono.If we lived in octagonal rooms we might have settled on 3 channels.Maybe it is about the rectangular rooms we live in that we choose stereo? What if we lived in round rooms? Something to ...

I do not know any Mravinsky’s mono sets. I have individual mono records of him doing 4, 5 and 6 symphonies. He did the Pathétique in 1949 and 1956, both were certainly mono. The performance from 1956 I consider the ultimate Pathétique. The “qui...

[quote user="difool"]What is the benefit of using 834PT in dual mono over a stereo 834PT? [/quote]
That is a good question and I asked myself it numerous times. My current standing is the benefits are purely intellectual as I am not able to observe ...

Per Winfeld confirmed to me that the coil former assembly is rotated 45% compared to the regular SPU such that only lateral motion is sensed. Unfortunately I did not think to ask him how the coil/coils was/were wound. Since the quoted DCR is signific...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I think I need to put a switch that would disconnect the right and left primary in case the Mono SPU is used. I ‘m still thinking about a more elegant solution…. [/quote]
Well, it is resoled and it is resoled remarkably s...

Paul,
I tried this tube in few other amps and also on a phono amp and I like the sound of this tubes, perhaps it matched with the speakers/amp combination better than other, still there are lots of other tube out there that I would like to tr...

Lately, here and there, among the “advanced audio people” become very fashionable to spread bravado about themselves that they “more evolved” because they dropped the “slavery of stereophonic reproduction” and went back to mono installations. My nume...

[quote user="Wojtek"]So, what is the solution for a mono system? Also, I remmember that your mono experiments with field coild S2 produced honk .Should you use stereo drivers to get better results [/quote]Use stereo system to play mono, a properly ma...

Interesting observation/question. I think some "manufacturers" at least pay attention to this idea, offering dedicated mono "versions" of their "better" cartridges. But as far as the old "classic" mono cartridges go, I think it is a fine line betwe...

It has nothing on it besides “Ortofon Mono”. Perhaps if I remove it form the standard Ortofon whale-shape shell then I will be able to identify it. The manual that comes with it said: “SPU cartridges” and has the specification for the entire line up....

Do any of you, the SPU Mono users, know how the SPU MONO coils wired internally? Is it a stereo cartridge strapped mono or it is a single coil cartridge with two channels running in parallel from the same coil? Is anyhow even seen any...

OK, I managed to get to the "fully mono" experiment done pretty quickly. The single speaker made a more "compact" sound that stuck more closely to the speaker, itself, despite "increased" ambient cue "saturation".No surprise, I happen to prefer my o...

Plenty of reasons why a given mono LP might sound better than a given stereo LP at a given time, and I do have some mono LPs I prefer to their stereo counterparts. Still, of my best examples of each, spanning over 60 years, the best of the best stere...

John, I had nothing to do with Voyd or Pink Triangle, I also not a big fan of Audio Note UK.
Mono cartridges is good, in fact I feel that Mono Cartridges IS A MUST for anyone who do analog more of less serious. Defiantly a second arm is more conveni...

Of course not,,,Ambiophonic should not be compatible with anything else...and monophonic is not compatible with a horse,,, But the so called multi micing of orchestras Is "multi micing MONO" I think it is you to claim irrational,,,in suggestion it...

Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

OK, I will try the SPU mono. I have some questions: It comes in a headshell with SME bayonet. I really do not need it. Can I remove the cartridge and mount it on a normal “tow-holes from top” tonearm? If it is removable then what be the mass of the ...

Ok Romy thanks for advice. I will see about the loading for my shelter, and my cable to the step-up is nothing special. I am going to listen to mono only for next few weeks and see if i find the "same character of sound everywhere" syndrome! I do h...
