I don't mind the Giles remasterings because those work better in my car, although I avoid them at home using headphones. So, I have a musical library for driving in traffic and another for home use.
As far as preferring stereo over mono, "I Am the Walrus" taught me that lesson when I was a tyke. Listening to the original LP recording collapse into mono after the bridge was always unpleasant. Back in the 80s, I even tried to sync up tapes of the basic band track with the mono ending to correct it (of course, that was a disaster). Again, as with the Giles-compression subject, I don't mind mono too much in the car, though still not my preference.
