Mono Cartridge

Still looking for a mono cartridge for my Technics 1200G.  My first choice would have been Miyajima but have been told, by some, that it would not be compatible with my arm.  I want to play older recordings so need a 1.0 mil stylus.  Does anyone have experience with either the Phasemation PP-MONO or the ZYX R 1000 Airy 3M?  They look interesting but couldn't find any reviews online.

If anyone needs a TT with 2 or 3 arms, it's you!

Mike,
You make good points and I agree that mistracking is worse than heavy tracking, but I can't get comfortable with 3.5 grams either.  Is your experience at that tracking force with a spherical stylus?

Bill,

all the Miyajima's use a conical diamond stylus. so that experience is with the conical shape at those tracking forces.
