Recently I've been exploring the wonders of mono playback with the help of a Miyajima Zero mono cartridge. With all the similar discussions I've found I haven't been able to come up with a clear answer to this question: will a true mono cart like the Zero, with no vertical compliance, damage post 1967 mono records that were cut with stereo lathes? I know it works on reissues, and I know it sounds great, but could I be doing any damage to the grooves? If a cartridge is designed for a true U shaped groove, will it destroy a V shaped groove over time?
