Well recorded mono can be surprisingly good. I have some 15ips tapes, recorded back in the fifties, and I could swear they have depth and width to their sound.
It is amazing... so amazing in fact, that I have been asking myself whether they were truly mono. I finally resolved this by looking at their output with an oscilloscope in the XY more. There you see just one line at 45 degrees, just as the mono would have.
I am also playing a lot of tapes on mono machines in my office. While recorded in stereo, they sound very, very good played on things like mono Nagra.
