Why spend so much? There are many excellent cartridges available for way less! No need for a mono cartridge. A stereo cartridge plus a phono stage/preamp with a mono switch is fine. Unless you are a 1% high roller spending $10K is a foolish idea! A Hana Umami will sound excellent! There is one for sale now here on Agon for $2.7K with low hours. Grab it!
One stereo or two (stereo and mono) cartridges?
I am planning to upgrade my turntable and cartridge (Rega RP10/Aphelion). I have many mono records. If my budget for cartridge is $10k, should I buy one stereo $10k or one $5k stereo and one $5k mono cartridge. Anyone that already own a turntable with two arms has advice? Thanks!
