With stereo you hear sound from more than one source (speaker) and the sound from each source is very nearly the same except for some variations in amplitude of certain frequencies and some phase differences which occur becau...

Romy, a true old-fashioned mono cart, like the Ortofon C Series, has NO vertical compliance at all so theoretically could cause heavy damage to a stereo trace. However I am in correspondence with a chap who does play SOME old stereo pressings with a ...

I've been thinking abut this question form several angles. Firstly practical.I thought I'd better see what low bass sounds like. And to get some idea of placement possibilities. So I set up my LS3/5as in the (rather cold) un-converted barn. Couldn't ...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]I will be VERY interested in your more thorough evaluation. I hummed and hawed between the CG 25Dia and the SPU Mono before springing for the latter, expected next week. My speakers could do with a bit of upper bass help.[/q...

Columbia ML 5115 (mono LP; sounds best in mono)This one took a while to sink in. For one thing, it starts out with the "elite orchestra", as usual, confident in its abilities to the point where it almost sounds like a rehersal. If you listen, you can...

Is it only me or there is something more in it? I generally like headphones but can’t stand some music in them. For instance Stravinsky is absolutely boring in headphones and his music much opens islet up while paying it without headphones. Is it has...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

[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...

I can’t figure out what it is since it is a first Ortofon that I opened. Can you tell me what it is? Anyhow, I am little disappointed as I anticipated that it should be a purely mono cartridges. I wounded what I have to do with it if I have only 2 ca...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Ok, I will try to lower the primary impedance like you suggested, but it will be on the new 6C33C mono block amplifier that I am building. The custom made chassis will be finished by next week and I have the better components w...

RCA Victor, LM1119 (mono LP that sounds better in "stereo")OK, I admit to liking music that puts me into an altered state (of mind), such as this, Debussy's La Mer and Franck's D minor Symphony, etc.. This piece certainly warrants comparison with Rav...

I have for a month or so the Allnic H-1500 II SE Plus phono stage sitting in my home. It is two chassis phonostages with tube rectification, tube regulation, LCR 600R filters, own Allnic step up transformer for MC needles, 5842/417A in gain stage...

Interesting, How much is what your appreciate in the SPU sound derives from the SPU’s high output. When we load out typical 60-65++ dB gain phonostages with high output 2-3mV cartridges then Sound is way more interesting. I would not speculate if th...

My amp is a stereo 2a3 / 45 .
Lately I find my self listening in mono because of the area of my apartment and because I can focus better on the reproduction .
So this is not a stereo / mono discussion , just better for my needs .

Good point on what mixing, and processing, can do to both mono and stereo recordings.Look at the examples of room simulation here:http://www.quantec.com/index.php?id=sound_clips&L=0OK, they are bad electronic recordings to start with, and then pr...

I've heard so much about these legendary SET mono-blocks; but as I understand it, it's VERY important to match them up with proper (efficient) speakers.Anyway, I'd welcome some feedback on matching these amps with Lamhorn 1.8's + AER MD3B drivers (~1...

My stereo corrector (834P with air-vane caps) has a shorting switch across the two channels at the input. I suggest you incorporate the same.With it out of circuit I did indeed get that hum you refer to with the SPU Mono. Switching to short eliminate...

Ok, I just read your "Melquides Remote biasing". This technic can not be duplicate in my amp due to DC coupling, the C3G (I dont use 6E5P) driver stage basically adjust the 6C33C current in the output stage. Just for curiosity, I will build a mono bl...

Silbatone used a WE horn to play in mono and a pair of their own horn cabinets for 2-channel.The very cinema sound reinforcement looking horn was, I was told, a 16B. I will post some comments about the sound a bit later. ...
