You could do pseudo stereo yourself by this method:

Import your mono file into Cool Edit Pro, then save as a stereo file.

Reopen it and apply opposite EQ "cuts" the Left and Right channels of 
the file.

For example, make the Left channel have three bandstop areas at, say 
300Hz, 1.5kHz, and 3kHz.  Make the Right channel have bandstop areas at, 
say 150Hz, 750Hz and 2kHz.  Get the idea?  If you can get the 
"crossover" points to match up, this will work better.

This is similar to the basis of operation of Orban's stereo synthesizer. 
  I'm sure Bob Orban could advise you much better than the foregoing, 
but you get the idea.

Best,

Kirk Harnack

I like Kirk's suggestion with one addition convert to a pair, then save. Then open and play to your heart's content. There are more tools than eq in CE hope you have v2.1.
