Please explain mono

Thanks you.  Good explanation 

Unfortunately I don't have the space or funds to do a separate mono system.  I did listen to a good mono lp the other night and it was really good.   Not as good as my fav stereo lps but good.  Maybe in the future after my analog stereo set up is dialed in ill venture into mono.  For the time being i won't be discouraged from buying mono thanks to the knowledgeable people on this site. Thanks all!!!

Thanks all.   I think I'm understanding. ...and to you mr.wolfie62,   sounds like you know your sh.. not sure I'll ever be on your level but thanks for the passionate explanation.  Im new to vynle so everyone's expertise is appreciated.  What sparked my question was that I bought a jimi hendrix  are you experienced lp and when i got it home realized it was mono.   Stupid me....but then I thought that there must be something to this mono thing or they wouldn't be reissuing mono lps and there wouldn't be mono settings on modern avrs or integrated amps.  Plus I have a bunch of classical lps from the 50's and 60's that were my dad's. I think I need to do some tweaking to my set up to so I can hear what some of you are explaining.  

Cheers!!

Anyone going to axpona ??

Very good info everyone.  Thanks a ton.

I'm thinking about using just my center channel for mono. It's a full range beast.  Dumb idea??
