RE: The joys of proper mono

Yes the topic has been discussed at length and the nay-sayers generally admit they have never actually tried a true mono cartridge.

Mono records played with a stereo cartridge, summed or not, can sound amazing. But a far cry from the true magic that is contained in the grooves.

I always demonstrate at shows with a mono cartridge, Miyajima Zero. A table with the same arm for both cartridges so we buck the arm/table out as a possible source of difference. Miyajima stereo cartridge, take your pick. Start with the stereo cartridge then switch to the mono.

I don't recall a time when anyone in the room did not agree the mono cartridge is significantly better, night-and-day actually. Always a blast!!!

A skeptic here until I heard a true mono cartridge. No turning back after hearing the difference.
