Hi Angie and list: My hearing is not all that it should be. But I don't hear any big difference between the stereo and mono versions of Imapseaker, as we have both here. The mono version is also a bit more compact, which has its advantages. You got a very good deal on it for $10. My stereo version was NZ$60, and think the mono version was NZ$20. Hope someone can use this info. Cheers, Dave
