In Reply to: I think I found the answer to my question posted by Tre' on August 27, 2016 at 18:12:12:
was with trying to find out from reading manufacturer blurbs whether their "mono" cartridges are built the way you describe, such that they are not capable of responding to vertical deflection of the stylus, or not. This is why I quoted the Ortofon website, which on one hand defines what a "true mono" cartridge should do, and on the other hand tells us that one of their "true mono" cartridges (the Quintet Mono) is a stereo cartridge where the two channels are strapped internally.As far as I can tell a "mono"cartridge that is derived from a stereo cartridge by internal bridging of the two channels WILL be capable of responding to vertical movement in the groove; it depends upon phase cancellation effects to get rid of such voltages before outputting them, and it really should be no different from using a mono mode switch on a preamplifier. This may or may not be OK for getting the most out of a mono LP, which is another question.
And yada yada
