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!

Dear @luis223344  :  The quality performance for play mono recordings quality performance between a stereo and a mono cartridge is not " night and day " differences and if you have two tonearms then makes more sense to me that you buy two different stereo cartridges, this is a limitless decision because the mono cartridge puts immediatly a limitation of playing alternatives in those tonearms.

 

As @jasonbourne52  pointed out the Umami Red is an excellent quality performer. The Dynavector top of the line is excellent too as the Colibri or the LPS.
