On some level, this is all true--once the music is in your home, it's there. I have a different experience browsing in a well stocked, vast music store with knowledgable clerks than I do when I order online. There is much more opportunity for unexpected discoveries in the music store, and the opportunity for verbal communication with the knowledgable clerks can be valuable. The argument could be made that forums such as this, are the replacement for that verbal exchange. Bill

I was comparing mono/stereo settings on my system when listening to mono pressings.

And the stereo source material for Griffin's "A Blowin' Session" was.................. Sorry if my post was a unclear. I am assuming that the Classic Records re-issue is a mono pressing made from the mono tape. Bill

I had some time today to play with the mono/stereo button, as it is to hot to get anything done outside. With a copy of a classic records 200gram copy of Griffin's A Blowin' Session, things sound very similar, the only minor difference I could note was that Blakey's cymbols sounded just a tiny wee-bit more clear in stereo. With my cleanest vintage blue note mono, a copy of Bobby Hutcheson's Happenings I could not detect any difference at all. With a black label Atlantic of The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet, it seemed to help to deaden some of the light hiss in this pressing. With stereo recordings it obviously makes a difference and I have used it when I am particularly annoyed by things being too left and right, if you know what I mean. It may make more of a difference if you have a nicer system. My TT is a beogram tx2 with a new smmc4 stylus - reciever/amp is a late 70's yamaha cr840 - speakers are 2 pairs of polk-audio s4's. I think I'll just keep it in stereo for the bulk of my mono listening and just use it for what sounds like bad stereo to my ears. Bill

Please pardon the naive question, but technically speaking what does a mono button do?

Er, I seriously doubt that anyone would have air conditioning in a British home. MG 100º here in the great NW and no air conditioning. Bill

Wait a minute, now I need a quarter for each tone arm. I cant afford that.

When you google Ptah, one of the first things that comes up is your explination of your name at another board. That almost makes you as famous as an Egyptian god. I finally found the following from a how to pronounce the gods website. Prthivi {prit'hi-vee}Hindu Psyche{sy'-kee} Greek Ptah{ptah}Egyptian Pygmalion{pig-mayl'-ee-uhn}Greek Pyramus and Thisbe {peer'-uh-muhs thiz'-bee} Other I guess that means you sound out every letter. Sorry, I can't help you Mr. Ghost.
