| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? A Happy Mono Day: at VAS, and at Home. I’m so lucky to live near and have Steve and Ray Leung of VAS as friends as well as problem solvers. They are quite busy. They rewired the tonearm I bought on eBay (came with no right channel), and put a ne... | |

| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? danmar123 Nice setup! for those here who want to know the difference, i.e. "that’s good enough for my small need". You are a good one to tell us what happens in your system with your particular Mono LPs. a. play the stereo cartridge with th... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? rhg3 I’m glad, I have fun and have the time, but note, in eagerness I make my share of errors, I am always glad when others catch them. | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? lewm, "For the umpteenth time, using a mono switch when playing a mono LP with a stereo cartridge is not per se going to increase noise because of "sum"-ing. Phase cancellation takes care of that, and reduction, not summing, of common mode noise ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? Everyone, the Aurorasound EQ-100 is uniquely different, from the manual: "When a stereo cartridge is used, any vertical signal on a record is cancelled by an internal circuit of EQ-100. Only the R+L horizontal signal are detected to assure a su... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? Woodsong Plinths OP, I’m excited for you, I had a Thorens TD124, single arm, I can imagine the Garrard’s are a similar degree of AWESOME. Best Bass I ever heard, here or anywhere since. I’m happy with what I am getting, but you never forget the d... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? dwette you are correct, about the AI error I posted: many true mono cartridges have 4 pins (both of mine do), and RIAA being used (for some, not all) earlier, from 1954 "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The RIAA equalization curve for pl... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? OP Sorry it didn't occur to me, I just took a look at your impressive Stereo LP setups https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11092 Awesome, carry on, you know what where why far more than I | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? OP I looked at the specs of your intended Mono Phono EQ, it is versatile but ’locked in’ to Mono, seems unnecessarily so to me, certainly for my mixed use of 3 arms and ’mostly Stereo, frequently Mono’ which I think is fairly common. I also do no... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? dogberry that ’damage’ comment was from AI, sorry I reposted it. It is true that an advanced stylus shape with much larger contact area makes less wear (than spherical/elliptical shapes), thus over a lot of plays (unlikely with a large collectio... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? btw, IF you use different cartridges on different arms, Arm Height Adjustment becomes very important. I am loving my restored JVC Victor UA-7082 and Acos Lustre GST-801, both of which I learned about here. Here's my simple fix of the UA-7082 arm ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?

I found it was always easier or just natural to follow the w... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? My 1st/Main True Mono Cartridge is Grado ME+, with replaceable elliptical stylus ($100.), MI using standard MM Phono. I just replaced my stylus, easy, did it upside down while mounted on my old fixed arm. Cartridge $185., extra stylus $100. I se... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? My 1Cent (mono after all), is that what I learned here is true: a TRUE Mono Cartridge is best, no need to put my mode switch in Mono Mode. How Much Better? a little, some, more, a heck of a lot better, depends on the individual LP, but the key is... |
