The buttons immediately below will let you hear the first couple of phrases in stereo and, for comparison, in mono if you want to end a sample early, press the one labeled “stop.” I applied no noise reduction or other processing to these samples beyond placing them in a single file to normalize them to the same level. The record is a 1940s-vintage American Decca pressing of Frankie Carle in a number from a musical generation earlier, Zez Confrey's evergreen piano dazzler “Kitten on the Keys.” It's just the sort of record one might expect to turn up at a flea market or garage sale-a passable but not top-notch pressing in about average, or maybe a little better than average, condition, neither especially quiet nor especially noisy.
Here's the problem, though: mono switches are not especially common features of latter-day gear, and more often than not those of us who wish to get started with 78s, or even those who just want to explore LPs from the period before stereo fully swept the boards, already have satisfying or even top-notch stereo-only equipment that they are unable or unwilling to replace.Īs a starter, here's an example of the improvement possible just by switching from stereo to mono when playing 78s. Regular readers of my scribblings will know that I constantly preach the gospel of “be sure your gear will play in mono if you are venturing into vintage records” for instance, see here (where I discussed the different types of mono modulation-we'll have more on that subject shortly) and here (where I offered suggestions for setting up a basic 78 RPM system).
