[78-L] stereo/mono and noise reduction

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

I don't think the lack of a mono switch should be a problem, if you can 
take a line level out and feed it back into some input (maybe another 
receiver/amp) thru what I call a double Y adapter. L + R on the out, and 
feed it back in thru a L + R adapter so the mono signal now goes to both 
channels. Unless you are OK hearing it out of a single speaker.

I usually record digitally in stereo then apply a+b= mono somewhere in the process of noise reduction and/or EQ tweaking before I call it done.  Anyway, we ripped that track to a computer, applied the a+b with his audio editor and voila! - quiet!  That is a lot more noticeable with headphones than monitor speakers, but still sometimes quite dramatic no matter how you're listening.

For awhile I had a tuner that would mono a stereo FM broadcast and that would help even those noisy signals.  (I sure miss it.)  Can somebody give us a good description of how and why that works for 78s and/or FM?
