Short, shameful, confession: I have never owned a "stereo" in my life. not sure what constitutes a stereo.

I guess a central box with dials, that you plug shit into. and speakers.
I dated audiophiles. they are freaks who like to put money in piles and set it on fire just to hear it crackle.

I sort of have. I kind of wish I had a receiver + 5.1 system at home, or even just a soundbar, but I've been living in shared-wall houses for so long - Beryllium Mar 19, 21:27

      - I think when I was very young, our stereo (my parent's, but technically the family stereo) - ty97 Mar 19, 21:39
I have a "stereo" with on speaker. - tlw Mar 19, 21:10 5
- wouldn't that technically make it a mono? -- nm - mafic Mar 19, 21:12 3
  - Yep. but if I set it up for mono it doesn't sound right. I have to run a stereo signal through the one speaker. - tlw Mar 19, 21:14 2
