Mono has always been a better (more durable, less distortion, louder cutting) format for vinyl. Back to mono!

Just compared three copies of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto with Emil Gilels and Fritz Reiner conducting: original mono LP (LM 1969), "Living Stereo" CD, and 1970s English pressing on "Camden Classics" CCV 5016 from Victrola master (VICS 1039). Interesting results. The CD is muddy, distant, over-reverbed and very unpleasant. The Camden Classics/Victrola is running slow, horribly distorted and full of dropouts. The original mono LP sounds .. bloody fabulous!
