@bkeskeThe nice part about the mono cartridge is the conical or spherical stylus does not require you to vary the VTA/SRA adjustment.  Once you have it aligned in its own head shell it’s just a matter of adjusting the VTF as you pointed out.  Picked up about 30 mono pressings of 1940s and 50s mono classical recordings in a lot purchase. Most are Westminster pressings and very nice.  These are much more enjoyable with my 2M mono
The Congos- Heart of the Congos ( Blood and Fire pressing )

this is as analog as it gets:-)

Yep, good point. Fiddling today, I realized VTA doesn’t make a huge difference, so just adjusted it where the Soundsmith sounds best (which I’m still playing with).

The more I listen, the more impressed I am with the 2M.
