I am dreaming of an Equicore. Let us know how it works out, please!
My K&K Audio Trio phono-preamplifier was custom made for me by Kevin Carter with custom resistors for all of the cartridges I currently own. I can switch from mono/stereo, polarity, etc.. really nice options. In addition, I do have a Ortofon Cadenza Mono cart when needed. The Ortofon is strapped internally.
To answer your question directly, yes. It all depends on how accurate of reproduction you want to go for.
