Mono recordings


What's the attraction of mono recordings? I have a couple CDs (Pet Sounds  and Cream e.g.) that contain both stereo and mono tracks and a couple mono lps (using a stereo cartridge). I always prefer the stereo cut. What am I missing?

Lots of great responses rockyboy. The only way you'll ever know is to someday try it for yourself. It will be a point of finances in the end as to if you're willing to spend the money necessary to go this route over improving what you already have or buying more music.
rockyboy,

Since I'm an all analog guy, I can't compare the DAC over a cartridge, but I do get the priority of a new cartridge over losing weight. Ha ha!
