Can you clarify how a stereo cartridge could be to blame for room response?
Wouldn't the fact that he's using 2 speakers be more "to blame"? I mean, a mono cartridge playing a mono track through 2 speakers would output the same signal to each (in theory), and the room response could cause some variance in perceived 'location' of the sounds.
However, if I have it right, a stereo cartridge could actually be feeding 2 different signals to each channel, which could then be exacerbated by 2 speakers/room response.
Am I missing something? I guess you are saying anything that sends a mono signal (mono cart, mono-capable preamp) to stereo speakers will reduce the problem -- but the inherent problem is room response (assuming correct setup of the cartridge & rest of the system). Nothing in the analog setup will correct this.
