Mono record sounds like stereo
So I have been playing stereo records for 40 years. I’ve recently acquired some Verve Japanese reissues. Listening to Metronome All stars tonight and there is clearly separation. I hear horns predominantly on the left and xylophone and drums on the right. This is on an Ortofon SPU synergy stereo cartridge. Is this normal ? I’m sorry. I’m new to Mono. I bought about 50 verve and Blue notes last week and got some monos on accident. My system is balanced and the room has extensive treatment so I’m lost !
@adrianleewelch , first off let me say nice setup. My 311 horns are dwarfed next to those 15s... Last week I pulled the trigger on an Otho Cadenza Mono. Being I have about 60+ Mono’s original pressings of Jazz & Big Band. I love how the drums are in front of me, instead of coming from either the R or L speakers. Every instruments is delivered with authority in my system. IDK what the hell I was waiting for? Enjoy the music everyone! |
