| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Nearly all of them are guilty of obfuscating to one degree or another, in order to allow the reader to believe that their product is "true mono".

| searching for cables, reminded how pathetic Audiogon's search engine is Riley.. really? if you are searching for an amplifier you aren’t concerned about how much power it has or the number of channels?
