Funny you should say that - I was quite staggered a while back to realise I
don't actually care much for 'stereo' at all! So much so that I sold two

What were you recording? Did you have a good-sounding space to record
in? I agree, in a bad room close-miked mono can sound better that an
attempt at stereo miking.
