That said, if you're listening to old Beatles stereo mixes, the bass
will only be on one channel (left, usually) and if you've sent the
right to the DAC, there's not much for the sub. I'd try and convert
the signal to mono for the sub feed.
This suprised me as I had heard that for vinyl it is particularly
important to have mono bass to prevent the needle jumping :-)

And if you gouge holes in a CD no data gets lost ;). JFTR a Beatles bass
does sound natural, however, even a "Bring the noise"-"Bass! How low can
you go?"-unnatural-bass mixed to one channel only wouldn't make the
needle jump, the needle will jump if you didn't adjust the counterweight
correctly and this btw. isn't the only thing you can adjust for a good
record player. I'm not speaking about audiophile record players, I'm
talking about good record players, e.g. the well known DJ model, but
even some HiFi players are very good. No CD is able to hold a candle to
a record played on a good record player.

Where did you learn and for what studios did you work? This is complete
nonsense.

There is no such rule.

Also when
mixing for vinyl if bass is not centered it will make
the needle jump out of the groove.
No, it won't.

I don't know anybody who claims this bass nonsense.
