Another example - mono sound recordings. Somebody says "it
sounds
like
the orchestra are all sitting on top of each other". Answer:
don't
be
silly you shouldn't compare films with real life.

Ok, now this is a very 'telling' remark.
That's why I included it in the post.


I guess you've never really heard
any 'mono' then? (Or, at least, not mono done well).
You guessed wrong - my favourite recording of all time is a mono
recording.


What is it?
It is a recording of some Bach played by a Spanish guitarist by the name
of Narciso Yepes.


have to be a bit of a mutha to create the same effect!

Then you are not really talking about mono.


'Phantom mono', if you prefer then.......


I take it you are using a
stereo cartridge?


Yes and still wired for stereo.



(I have given Nick G a copy of the very same disc and I am sure it
will do
*exactly* the same stuff on his kit. I don't know if he's tried it
on
anyone
yet - perhaps he'll comment.)


Or perhaps he won't.....
You just can't get the staff.



Mind you, I suppose I could bring me pre-amp, power amps and
speakers.
Humm, no, on seconds thoughts that won't work - I can't fit me
speakers
in the car.


Maybe you need a biger car then!
Unfortunately I couldn't afford a Mercedes Estate.



Yeah, I've got Diamonds and Rust. Sheer genius.

I like her very first 2 albums best.





My loudspeakers don't sound right. Don't be worry you shouldn't
compare
recordings with real life.


OK, OK I get your drift.....

I thought you might eventually.


No, I don't necessarily agree with you, but I understand the point you
were
making......
Did I say you agreed with me?
