You can do it in mono, but if there's any noise in the room, you're going to have a darned hard time understanding what's on the tape. Our brains and ears use direction cues in the sound source so that even in a noisy crowded room, we can attend to someone standing in front of us. You can take advantage of that by recording using two tiny omnidirectional microphones positioned at your ear and then played back over headphones. The technique is called "Binaural Recording" and actually predates stereo. You can buy binaural microphones from a few different manufacturers. We manufacture a low cost but very good sounding set, among our other products. Please see our Web page for details. Hope this helps!
