I listen to the music, not the equipment.

Don't quite understand where that came from.  I do enjoy the 5.1 surround the most on a JBL Northridge Series speaker setup closely followed by the remastered stereo edition Pet Sounds cd via Grado SR-80 headphones.  What a difference equipment makes in the music you listen to.

The mono+stereo CD in a discman on the way to and from work, every day... I did this a few years ago and it's what shaped my love of Pet Sounds.

"on headphones, in the dark, alone"

EXACTLY!
I have to say that I prefer the stereo-version. I have never been a huge fan of 5.1-sound, with some instruments from behind your back, some far left etc... it only distracts from the music. On the other side, the mono-mix is to "muddy" for my taste, there are too many details burried. Stereo all the way for me.

"Carl and the Passions" LP pressing, Mono. The fuillest sounding the album has ever sounded.

My best listening experience was playing it in my basement studio, totally dark just lying on the floor.  It was surreal.

Mono, of course. The way Brian heard it when he mixed the album.

It would be nice to listen with someone who appreciates that album as much as I do... but since no such person is in my immediate vicinity .... in the dark with headphones is just fine!  Smiley

Exactly, Andreas.
Don't forget that Linett said that mixing it in stereo was 'in some ways worse than colorising Citizen Kane".
But if he didn't do it, someone else would have.

It depends on what I'm listening to it for.

If it's simply for emotional impact, mono, through one speaker, with my right ear plugged with a series of earplugs.  Seriously.

If it's for simple pleasure, 5.1.  For quick reference, stereo.

For education, track only or vocal only with headphones.

I've used one speaker and have faced that with one ear, but never clogged up my other.

OK.  But seriously folks.

The Pet Sounds Box, on a good set of headphones.  Put the player on random and just go with it for about an hour.

I especially like the WIBN backing track and vocals only trac followed by the full stereo cut combining both.
