Help! New mono cartridge for Dad's present-need the least amount of tweaking


Hi there, my dad has a SOTA Sapphire with the Sumiko Tonearm (switches headshells)

I gave him a DL103R and head shell a couple years ago and he quite likes it. It took him a while to get it dialed.
 Subsequently, he was given the Beatles mono box. 

If I got him a Mono Denon DL102 and head shell, would it be quick to switch, or would it take it be a painful profanity fest?

Thanks!

 While I do agree that you can have a very satisfactory listening experience with mono LPs, using a stereo cartridge, I have yet to discover a mono LP that doesn’t sound even better when reproduced using either a mono cartridge or a preamp with a mono switch. So you would be doing your dad a favor to provide him either option. But if his only mono LPs are those Beatles albums, maybe it’s not worth the effort.
