any mono folks out there?

I listen primarily to 50's jazz in mono--getting a raven two and deciding on tonearm and cartridge for mono side. Will be played through an arc ph5 pre into mac mono 501's and sonus faber cremonas. Probably will get the triplaner mk vii tonearm and considering otano edison, lyra titan, dyna xvi mono cartridges---any ideas or experience would be hugely helpful-thanks

I have the Lyra Helikon Mono with A graham B44 Phantum on a Basis TT. IT sounds great.

A true mono cartridge does not send any vertical groove modulation information. This where most of the damage you here on stereo records happens. A stereo cartridge will send the vertical groove info to your preamp even it is in mono mode.

Just a warning.
I believe the needles profile for mono records made in the 50's and earlier is differant than the mono's made in the 60's and later.
