My understanding is that joint stereo is a psychoacoustic trick to try and make lower bit rate encoded files sound better in terms of their channel separation. I don't believe the monoblock analogy is strictly correct. All the advice I have seen is to use normal stereo for decent encoded files at bit rates of 192kbps and higher and only use the joint stereo psychoacoustic trick on very poor files encoded at lower bit rates.

Regards.

High George,
Joint stereo is, like you have a pare of speakers, but you have a mono block
amplifier on each one.
Regular stereo, is having those same pare of speakers hooked up to a stereo
amplifier.
The joint stereo, gives better stereo channel separation then the regular
stereo.
Hope this helps.
 John.

Hi all!
I have a question which is making me curious. when I'm converting wave to
mp3 in a convertion program or so, I can see something called joint stereo,
and I can also choose if I would like to have it in joint stereo or just
stereo.
my question is, what's the difference between joint stereo and stereo, I
can't seem to hear any difference at all there.
Regards,
Jörgen Hansson!
