| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art I don't live in a concert hall or a music venue so I never expect what I hear to sound like the 'real thing', whatever that may be, as even at the concert hall or music venue, it will sound very different depending on where in the venue you're lis... | |
| Please explain mono Unless the quality of the stereo version is awful, I'll generally go with those and not the mono. Among those 'awful' stereo versions are those early Beatles records where all the vocals are in one channel. Those I go with mono every time. | |
