Was just digging out mono recordings the other day to try with a new phone stage that also has a mono switch, can't wait to try them and the phone stage with another arm wand with my Dynavector DRT XV1s that I use for my mono recordings even though it is a stereo version, have used it that way every since I read an article by the DRTs creator challenging owners to try it that way and have to say that it is really good, so good I never sought out a mono cartridge for the task, also only have maybe 100 mono albums. Looking forward to listening to them this weekend. Enjoy the music
Why Are Mono LP's So Undervalued By Most Classical Collector/Listeners?
Hi,
I listen to perhaps 30 classical and jazz records a week. It’s part of my job. I get frustrated by how most classical music buyers’ avoid mono pressings and only chase the stereo copies. Some of the mono versions I have heard have spectacular, natural-sounding sonics. Buyers could get these mono versions for a fraction of the cost of the same in stereo. Why is that?
I apologize in advance if this topic has already been covered.
