will new Beatles mono lp's require a mono setup

wondering if the new Beatles mono set will necessitate a true mono cartridge and so on, to sound right. That is not so common today, even among audiophiles.

It was pressed at QRP, and all songs on side one are mono. I think it sounds fantastic on my stereo cart. That said, I am sure it would sound better with an equal cartridge that is mono. As to the technical reasons why, I will leave that to those with experience.

Some of the songs here are in mono. They sound absolutely fantastic on my stereo set-up. I wonder how much better it would sound in mono, the way it was meant to be listened to. After I get the Beatles mono box in home, I will look into the Ortofon White mono that is said to have been made solely for this box set.
