Using a Y-connecter sums the channels to give a nominally L + R signal. This is the horizontal information on the record. The vertical information is L - R.The problem is that cartridges have crosstalk, both from left to right channels and from L + R to L - R (the same thing if you think about the math of it).
By using a Y- connecter, you get the L + R signal plus some of the L - R signal via crosstalk.
A true mono cartridge never picks up any L - R information in the first place, so there is no way it can contaminate the L + R signal.
