Thanks for this Tim. You rightly describe the condition as "more hearing loss" in one ear or the other when you're "not terifically young any more". In my case the greater loss is in my right ear and was caused by lymph node removal in my neck and cheek some years ago. Contrary to your case however my hearing is greatly improved with headphones and I have invested in quality RF remote headphones. The wider subject is interesting and gives food for thought. Passive mono conversion can be achieved as described here: http://www.rane.com/note109.html This is for the case of where a single speaker is fed from a stereo source. Some modern radios for instance have similar circuitry internally where as an example, a DAB radio with a single speaker has a mini-jack to feed a stereo signal into it's single channel amlifier/speaker. A small chromecast audio can convert a quality radio such as this into a fairly reasonable music player. The challenge is to find a way of feeding both the radio and the chromecast from the same power supply, be it internal or external. On the other hand vintage FM radios rarely have input facilities and where they do the mono channel is a component of the FM stereo signal and is fed directly to the amplifier/speaker and no such internal mono conversion is available. I think about, and sometimes implement projects based on these thoughts, but the number of squeezelite players in my system tends to grow like topsy until I cull some of the players and the cycle starts again. 22908 not yet implemented.
