mono lp replay?? do you set up another TT for it?

Lyra makes a cartridge specifically for mono:

I enjoy mono recordings with my stereo cartridge. In fact, I find some sound better, in many ways, than stereo. I read somewhere recently that jazz, in particular, is made for mono (or was it, mono is made for jazz?). My original mono LP of "Time Out" has a much more focused sound. The instruments have much more weight and tonal quality.

To set up another set-up for mono could give you better replay, but you have to consider weather or not you choose to make the expenditure to put your system at the forefront of superior playback capabilities. A mono cartridge would have to be of superior quality to be able to gain benifit to your stereo cartridge of superior quality. Most would spend as much as they can on the one cartridge because the better stereo cartridge more often gives better results that splitting that budget in two, then there is the expence of another turntable of quality, and the arm, or getting an arm with extra armwands. You didn't mention your arm or cartridge, or your spare table that perhaps somebody could be more specific. I have had no experience with mono cartridges, but benz and lyra are both offerring high end mono cartridges, and there must be something to that.
Of coarse, if you were to set up a mono set up of quality, and used different components than your stereo set up, it might just sound different.
I often use the mono switch to good results. It doesn't really make to much difference on mono recordings, but on those that are reprocessed for stereo, the results sometimes amaze me, and please me.
The generalization that I understand is that it is not really cost effective to double (or increase) a budget for mono playback, but I am also interested in expriences others have had with this.
I think it would be real fun to optimize another set up for mono. Can't have too many turntables, right?

thanks for all your response. my Linn comes with Ekos and Archiv cartridge(Linto phono), and they sound fine. I do have a good contion old Yamaha, and think maybe i should give it a try??
BTW, what kind of mono lps do you folk have? I have some good Westerminster mono lP(even one Morini brahm violin crt) and like them.
thanks again.

If find that my Nottingham Spacedeck is very convenient for this application. I have two "arm pods" on mine and, for awhile, had a MM cartridge on one arm (Origin Live Silver)and a MC cartridge on the other (Spacearm). With my Kora Eclipse preamp, which has separate MC and MM phono stages, switching between the two is a breeze. About a month ago, someone suggested that I mount a mono cartridge on my OL Silver arm so I tried the aforementioned Denon DL102 just for kicks and giggles. I've liked it so much for my mono jazz collection that I am thinking of leaving it in this configuration and deciding between the MC/MM cartidges for the Spacearm.
