A horn loaded installation shell not be mono, period! I have observed this phenomenon for years and I insist that it is impossible to make a properly performing horn-loaded playback. I have no explanation for it but I take it a rule: the monoph...

[quote user="AOK_Farmer"]Do you think you would lose the ability to hear stereo properly and that for the Van Gogh type person Mono is as sufficient as stereo? [/quote] Absolutely, a person with one ear do not need stereo. You can easily try it by co...

OK, who has not recently tried a good mono recording played from just one BIG speaker? It has been quite I while since I have done this. It may take a while to get to it, but at some point I will play the 1943 Furtwangler/BPO Beethoven 9 throug...

[quote user="haralanov"] So the tweeter is always needed. The bad thing is it deforms (in 99,9999999999999999999% of the cases) the perfectly round audio window, formed by the midrange channel and "pull" some notes sometimes at its axis. These are of...

I even never thought about “damaging of stereo records” as there are other objectives to peruse mono cartridge.
Anyhow, I appreciate your help, Brain. I understand that White/Blue and Red/Green carry identical signal but it is not the question. The...

Adrian,
I know what you are talking about and in a way I might concur with it. However, I disagree with it. There are people who claim that they prefer mono to stereo but upon closer inspection I always witnessed that stereo was not do...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]Perhaps Zyx will come out with a mono cart one day soon since they are now fashionable.

Sorry to be responding to an old post but ZYX has just released a mono cart which costs less than 400 dollars in Japa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Guys, I think you use a slightly faulty logic in here. No one would deny the differences in presentation between live events and playback. I would not argue with what ‘zako’ or ‘gormee’ said. I would however disagree about...

Since I left with only 3 arm for my TT I asked myself what arm I will use for my mono cartridge. I would like to have 12” arm an arm that is comfortable. I have an old 3009 but it is original vision Mk1. The collectors love it but I do not find...

Audio people are so accustomed with a comfortable believe that as frequency drops the stereo information becomes less important that no one seems question this old believe. The reality is very much do not support this. From what I can observe the st...

I, after being sick and tired form the Denon 102 misery, got the Ortofon Mono needle. I was under impression that Ortofon Mono was true mono cartridge with one coil. However, when I opened it up to mount it’s insert on my “Chernobyl Spinnaker” tonear...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I finally concluded that I need a better mono cartridge. Screw you Denon-102! I can’t listen this midrange pusher anymore![/quote]Send it over to me Romy, I'll make sure the little offender doesn't escape! :) Brian (who lis...

Not sure how interesting they are, but EMT seems to makededicated mono carts OFD25 (65 for '78). According to fabtech.de :"The OF-series pick-up's are pure mono versions. The transducer is
constructed in a way to read only horizontal trackings. The...

Rakesh,Thank you for your kind remarks. I appreciate the close scrutiny you have given my previous post but I think you are at a stage of system design where many basics of your system should be considered and evaluated before the issues of my po...

Do you think you would lose the ability to hear stereo properly and that for the Van Gogh type person Mono is as sufficient as stereo? I am not sure that there is, deep down, that much of a difference between properly implemented mono and properly im...

[quote user="ghpicard"]IMO, stereo is intended to reproduce the sound of a given performance *with the assumption* that one has two ears, and thus two microphones strategically located can faithfully simulate and reproduce the sensations of being liv...

I took receipt of my new Anima speakers yesterday.Aesthetically, they match my listening room very well. Early days, but sonically, driven by my 211 mono amps with Elrog output tubes, they easily better any other speaker I've had in this room. It's f...

Romy,Try running the left and right signals from the stereo arms, one at a time, into the known-good mono phonocorrector. If the problem is not present then you know the stereo corrector is to blame.Are both left and right channels in the stereo cor...

Who read the article above about the Lamm L1 and Lamm L2 preamps knows how high I prize the effect of spacious reengineering that Lamm preamps do. I call it the X-factor and was not familiar what it was and hot it was accomplished. Obviously it was d...

Actually I use Koussevitzky 1949 version of Tchaikovsky’s IV (first movement) to assess my mono analog. There is not doubts in my mind that any more or less serious records enthuses much have a dedicated mono cartridge, preferably permanently install...

I run both of my Reference and Daily tonearms into my “End of Life Phonostage”. As I told I do not know any way to commutate signals at phono level signal and I just re-plug the phono cables at the phonostage’s input. I have no problem with that ...

The regular visitors of my site know about my recent frustrations with my new Ortofon SPU cartridge for my “mono tonearm”: Is it all that Ortofon SPU can do? Today I made some alternations that more or less cured the audio problem and I decided ...

Well, someone named lNHUMANE left this comment at YouTube (he is most probably right):"That WE16B speaker is set up for stereo, not mono. There are two sets of drivers and two horns with a common mouth. Of course, stereo did not exist when it was in...
