I am not sure if you stress the words “sound” or the word “stereo”. I do not have anything to do with mono but properly implemented stereo is absolutely wonderful and I love Take a little portable mono microphone, attach it to you head, feed it to a pair headphones and walk in city. Then do the same with a pair of microphones each feeding own headphone. I would say that with recording of music the difference would be even more prolific. We had this conversion before and I remember that you expressed some luck of appreciation of stereo. I disagree and I like the new opportunities that stereo allow very much.
Oh, I agree. I do this with binaural microphones that can be mounted on sunglasses and record live concerts this way sometimes. The sound is wonderful. I do not say that I don't like stereo. Most of my albums are in stereo and it is wonderful. What I have said before is that there is something very special about the early mono recordings that gives me in the sound more connectedness to the composition and artist in many cases.

Again do you mean that the “magic of sound is lost” or the “magic of good stereo is lost”? Is it the problem that you report with stereo or with sound generally?
This occurs with both stereo and mono recordings.

Also, I am sorry but changing a vacuum tube is not “even very small change”, particularly in your case when you use DHT.
I guess so, huh.

Listening what you are saying I wonder of is it possible that you in fact are taking about a very fine balance of HF in your playback? Just for a sake of experiment: when you feel that the “conditions are not met” anymore and you begin to have problems then can you put one or two sheets of very thin (the chipset one) toilet paper around your tweeters? It would be interesting what you feel it will do with what you describe.
Well, I tried this. Interesting, the magic does not exactly return, but the sound is better. I think the issue has something to do with the HF being properly done. The tweeter does 10-20kHz, I think. Hm.
