Mono or stereo?

>>74896335
stereo makes it easier to pick out individual bricks that made up this masterpiece and is more pleasurable on headphones, so going for stereo

>>74896358
I find stereo to sound cluttered at times, might be because I listened to mono a lot first

>>74896358
This, mono just sounds like a big mush

>>74896335
Stereo sounds great. The space really helps in appreciating how good the arrangements are.

>>74896335
Both.
Mono for vinyl, as if you want the closest to the original sound. Wilson was deaf in one ear so he intentionally made his songs in mono.
Stereo for regular listening.

my old mono vinyl copy is fucking trashed, I don't know

Mono, it isn't even close

WRONG

Stero is better in every way
The only way you can ever justify buying it is if that was the original pressing/or you want it to be more accurate to how it used to Sound (so you want it to sound shitty

this is one of the very few 60s albums that has a good stereo mix

I hate the Spector's production sound, and Wilson's version of it is not much better sounding for me. I don't care about the creator's intent, I'll choose what sounds better (clearer) to me - stereo.

mono

brian wilson was deaf in one ear

keep in mind that the stereo mix was assembled in, what, the mid-'90s or something? like 30 years after the original release

Mono tends to be for tryhard losers. Like those kids I knew back in school who could play the "Stairway to Heaven" guitar solo but couldn't play three chords of a Ramones song if their life depended on it because they didn't have the strength or ability to do it

Mono if you want to experience it as it was meant, Stereo if you want clarity and distinction in the arrangements

this is a good meme

i love you kevin

Mono if you have any sense and have read at least one wikipedia article worth of information in your life, stereo if you're a dumb fucking retard /mu/tant with the taste of a high school valley girl.
