You don’t need oldschool conical mono stylus if your mono records are not that old.
For mono from the 60’s, 70’s etc you’d be better with advanced profile on a mono cartridge. Same about modern mono records (cut with stereo cutter head).
Do not buy low compliance Mono MC for your Technics tonearm!
The Grace F14 LC-OFC has only 2 pins, it’s a true mono cartridge, but you can change the styli ! Perfect for Technics tonearm.
Mono MM is better than Mono MC, because you can simply change styli (only on MM).
A mono cartridge with advanced profile is great, read J.Carr’s comment about it.
Those oldschool styli are only for very old record (from the 50’s and related stuff).
If you considering modern MONO MC like ZYX then I think you have mono records from the 70’s and later.
If you want to cover all mono records then an MM with different mono profiles is the best.
Grace F14 LC-OFC (MONO) is very expensive cartridge. On my sample I have RS-14US profile.
