While I have a few monos (mostly old classical stuff), I GREW UP hearing the Beatles in stereo (yes, I'm calling it that rather than "dual mono" as some people put it) and can't get into the mono thing. Okay, so these mono mixes may have been priority for them back then, but I learned to record (as a very young teen) this way (drums way over on the left, voice on the right, bass somewhere down the middle with a guitar or piano) and to me it just sounds familiar.

Today, of course, I still love listening to the older stuff- I still have Beatles "Rock 'n' Roll Music" double vinyl from the 70's in decent shape, and have Sgt Pepper, MMT, and a few others on album (mostly purple label Capitols), but they are in STEREO. I also love RCA Shaded Dogs (incredible) and even Telarc digitally recorded LPs (the 1812 and Shaw's Firebird come to mind because they are my fave), but each of these explored an era/area of sound recording and production that hadn't been done before. That is why the STEREO Beatles matter more to me...

Now if I could only wrap my head around which power amp to get...
