But what if you've never heard the mono version?

[(Anonymous)]

Then you can't prefer the stereo over the mono because it's not a preference of one over the other, it's not knowing the other.

Almost everything's free on the internets though.

then you are obviously an uncultured loser

[intrigueing]

Duh.

I literally have no idea what this means.

Dating myself here, but I remember the old jukebox-style record players in the late 70s - early 80s bad two settings, one for stereo, one for mono. IIRC, the mono switch (set with a dial turner) on my parents' was for plugging in headphones that looked like you were about to pilot a Stealth plane or smth, they were huge.

*had two settings stupid phone

[(Anonymous)]

Songs/albums that were recorded in mono (same noise through both ears on headphones) got remixed when stereo became popular (stereo you get different sounds through each ear). They sound subtly different. Mono sounds more "old fashioned" but with some albums that's how they were released so people who heard them originally might find stereo version sounds "wrong" to their ear.

Technological improvements are bad, basically.

Can you give some content to this? What type of recordings are you talking about here?

Granted that performers don't move (and so monophonic recordings are "accurate"), I'd think that duophonic/stereophonic recordings better reproduce the acoustics of a performance space.

[(Anonymous)]

not OP, but I way prefer The Velvet Underground and Nico in mono than in stereo - think that's the way I originally heard it on vinyl. (Don't give a damn what anyone else prefers!)

[(Anonymous)]

Um, well, I'm HOH, and mono doesn't usually sound as good to me. It's like the sound is more...shallow? I can't hear the nuances as well as I can with stereo. Do I get an exception to the judging?

[dethtoll]

I'm HOH and I prefer mono simply because that way I'm getting all the information poured into my one partly functional ear.

DDA (different deaf anon)

I was like this too, until after the 2nd op, I got a canal wide enough to get a power aid in (tho three different ENTs have been rec'ing BAHAs to me for about ten years now, thank you doc, yeah but NO), and then I *heard* in stereo. It was trippy, man,

[(Anonymous)]

I know it's been a few days, but I still kind of felt like replying out of a sense of...well, basically clinging to anyone else I can talk to. This is basically still a whole new world for me.
See, I'm HOH in both ears and didn't used to be (car crash). Like, I used to not be able to tell the difference, but now, mono sounds so freaking flat to me. I can't hear any of the subtleties in the music like I used to be able to.
I get your take, though. Mono makes a whole lot more sense if just one of your ears is cooperating.

[(Anonymous)]

For some of us, listening to mono is painful. It has to do with compressing too much into limited EQ bands. When the sound is spread out in the sound space it's a tremendous relief.
