"Mono because it sounds better, stereo is a form of distortion."
What? You have two ears right? You have directional hearing, right? If so,
you hear everything in your own natural environment in stereo.
Mono recordings may sound more pleasing to you, but stereo is not
distortion -- unless, of course, it's the sort of fake "stereo" that's
created by EQ, which is what they did with the current DVD of AHDN and
that's why it sounds so horrible.
But the DVD of "Yellow Submarine" has a multi-channel mix created from the
actual multi-channel session tapes at EMI. There is no rechanneling involved
in the "Yellow Submarine" DVD, no "duophonic," no added distortion. The
separation you hear in the 5 channels should make that obvious.
