Mono Cartridge, is it worth the investment?


I would like to hear from those who own a mono cartridge. Is it that much better than using a stereo cartridge with a preamp that has a mono switch? Are there any good values in mono cartridges out there?

I have a table with two arms just for that purpose. One has my mono cartridge. Although I don't have a lot of mon records, the mono records definitely sound better with the mono cartridge than a stereo cartridge. If I had to swap headshells or arm wands to play mono reocrds, I wouldn't bother. Two arms is the way to go if you want to get a mono cartridge. It will cost you some bucks, but hey, what else is new with this hobby!
