Thanks guys. I hope for good things.
I agree with Brian, the mono cartridge with a conical stylus would better serve mono records. At the most, an elliptical stylus. I could be wrong, of course.
My longer-term plan is for a second tonearm, one with a removable headshell. By that I can easily change between a mono cartridge and some other MC or MM cartridge. The main tonearm would remain as the premier choice and with the premium cartridge. But first, I need to get the turntable that supports two tonearms. That along with speakers are the big plans for early 2022. Fun hobby and I love great music and excellent high fidelity. But man, this can get expensive!
