I too have many mono LP's and enjoy them very much. I think a stereo cartridge is fine for modern mono pressings.

78 RPM mono records are another story. They are cut vertically and require a different cartridge to play properly. Benz Micro manufactures a mono 78 cartridge designed especially for the purpose.

If you decide you must have two cartridges and do not wish to give up your Linn, consider a tonearm with a detachable wand. Careful planning with cartridge mounting, spacing and weights allow that second cartridge and wand to "plug and play" with only volume adjustment.
