Captain Beefheart and Mono

2 replies

You recently told me that you thought that music sounded best over the phone. Can you explain why?

Because it’s monaural, and the way the phone distorts music is my favourite distortion.

 

Interesting that mono can be so exciting. On my travels I’ve met a few audiophiles that love mono vinyl. Being a kid of the 90s, I was brought up on graphic equalisers, stacked black boxes and an emerging craze for surround sound. Still struggling to get into mono, maybe it grows on you...
