Mono recordings
Truth be told - I kinda wish I was one or the other. My life would be simpler. But I had a lot of cds and lps and I lusted after both capabilities. Not sure which I would sell if I had to chose. This is a scary hobby.  I have to keep repeating...i... 
Mono recordings
I'm retired and must prioritize my purchases very carefully. Right now in my life, mono capability is not something I lust after.  But I knew there were audiophiles out there who cherished their mono recordings and I wondered why. Now I know. Upgr...

Just came across this post. I happen to own one.  Using it with Dale's Essence Jasper MkII monos. (I also have his Essence Referenc Super Gems and his Mosaic speaker cables and ICs.)Don't know what your question(s) is. But if I can't answer it, I ...
