I heard a Miyajima mono at an audio show, but haven't had a mono cartridge since inheriting my grandfather's Magnavox/Garrard console in childhood...

The only other ATs I've owned are ART 7 and 20SS. The vintage 20SS is a tad thin, but the current ART 7 is balanced and refined and pretty close to SOTA.

One data point that leaned toward the AT33MONO was a post by someone who had transitioned from an AT33 stereo cartridge to an AT33MONO. He found the two 33s sounded very different-- the mono unexpectedly smoother and fuller and more listenable than the stereo.

Good luck with whatever you decide. Now that I've heard what a good mono cartridge can do, I'll be cruising for more mono LPs. At about the 150 record mark a Miyajima Zero might be nice...
