Hello Arch7
Your antiskating could be off. I have the Classic Records mono release and have played it with both a stereo & mono needle. The sound comes from the center. Try a stereo album with a strong singing voice you know should be in the center. If it is not then either your cartridge alignment is off or you are having other issues with your system. Also try near field listening. Move your speakers about 5 feet from your seating location this will eliminate many room issues you do have. I have had issues with my projector screen. It would cause the imaging to move or go to one side or the other no matter what pressings mono or stereo I listened. I found it moved ever so slightly while the music played causing the problem. I now use a tapastry over the screen to solve the problem. So I have learned rooms have a lot to do with imaging of your system and the further you are from your speakers the more it will affect it.
