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

In addition to Hevac1's point on styli size, here is another worry for '50s jazz (or other types). While the RIAA curve was approved around 1955, it was not implemented by all labels for another ten years or more. Therefore, some means of adjustable EQ will help optimize playback of many of these wonderful recordings.

Suggest a search here and on Vinyl Asylum.

Norman, this link should get you started in learning more about EQ. Look for additional links at the bottom for reference by label.
