In Reply to: Can someone explain why Mono is better? posted by TA on June 11, 2002 at 07:44:19:
Michael Fremer reviewed the mono Lyra Helikon (roughly $2000) and cited benefits in the sound. As I remember, he attributed part of the reason to the shape of the mono cart (which switching "mono" switch on preamp/ integrated wouldn't accomplish).Don't think they've archived that article at www.stereophile, sorry.

Acoustics Sounds' description of the Lyra Mono cart: "On mono records, the vertical axis of the groove contains no nusical information, but it will frequently have noise in the form of groove damage and dirt. The Helikon Mono has therefore been designed to be completely insensitive to the vertical axis, which works wonders for the S/N ratio without causing any problems."
