| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread I received my copy of the Mono box this weekend. It is very solid in the remix department, sporting a nice wall of pristine sound and very deep bass. The mono mixes came from very good tube based mastering consoles, something that was abandoned in... | |
