I've done comparison on my Beatles collection Please, Please Me and With the Beatles Lp's definitely sound much better in mono while the White Album and Abbey Road are superior in stereo. With early rock Lp's you get a nice full punchier feeling with the mono mix as recording techniques improved stereo sounded much better.
Mono vs. Stereo
I've been wondering for some time what the sound difference and listening experience is between Mono and Stereo. Let me acknowledge first off that I have not done an A-B comparison since I do not have both Mono and Stereo of the same release. At least I don't think I do. Would appreciate a couple of thoughts on the difference. If someone has a good link to a source write-up, that would be appreciated as well.
I've heard folks say the mono versions are better, but again, never did the A-B comparison.
Thanks in advance.
