Mono VS Stereo
I know I know......I have been off the beaten path for much of my life when it comes to the "Norm". Stones over the Beatles, big money on small speakers (Guarneri), really old motorcycles, film vs digital, First off I really appreciate all you guy... 
Mono VS Stereo
All very interesting observations. I always have like headphones, even the cheap ones! I do agree with the gentleman that the depth of fied does indeed improve when in mono. Interestingly i too prefer old jazz in mono in particular. In a perfect w...

Yes I figure that with the new electronics setup I will be good to go for quite some time. I'll will let everyone know how it works out when it's all set up. 
Mono VS Stereo
Thank you for the info shadorne. I should be clear that my "Stereo sound" is fantastic and that my set up is great. It could just be that I prefer my peculiar way of listening to most of my material. For whatever it's worth whenever I have guests ... 
Mono VS Stereo
I'm learning something new here (Single loudspeaker configurations and mono cartridges) really cool. Not sure if I'm ready to go all the way with mono but for sure worth a look. Great perspectives guys, one and all. 
Mono VS Stereo
Don't know what a true mono system is and I've never listened to one. I'm happy with the state of my system and I like to listen in mono as Rodman99999 pointed out, to each his own! This passion of ours gives us great joy, in the end it's about pa...

The size of my listening room is approx 20 x 15 w/ high cedar ceiling that goes from 10 feet at the front and rises on an angle to about 14 ft

Size matters Smaller that is
Hello,All of the above are very good points and observations. My listening space is somewhere between small and medium, as Davef pointed out in a much larger room a larger speaker might be the way to go. Given that scenario though I would go with ...

HelloThank you for the very good advise. I have to wait for June to carry out the level 7 performance mods for the Sony. The parts are not in yet but when I spoke to Warren Gregoire he said he should have the parts by June. In the meantime I have ... 
Sony 777ES Cleaning
Hi again,I figure I'll send the 777 in for the mods while I'm vacation in June. That way it will be waiting for me when I get back. The other agonizing decision I'm facing is regarding my amp (Mcintosh 2102). Mcintosh has a promo on right now wher... 
Sony 777ES Cleaning
HelloThank you for the info. I think I'm going to take the plunge and work it around my holidays so that I don't miss the unit while I'm away. I actually contacted Allen in Europe via e-mail last night, he said that in modified form level 6 or the... 
Sony 777ES Cleaning
Hello,Glad to be of help. Too bad Sony has quick the SACD format, once again hanging people out to dry as they did with Beta vs VHS. Please inform me of the details of the upgrades you mentioned, my machine is 100% stock at this point. Also if you...
