Dear Elliot, will you please stop repeating the incorrect information to the effect that noise due to vertical deflection of the cantilever is “doubled”, when one plays a mono LP using a stereo cartridge and the mono mode switch on a phono stage? That is not correct. Such noise is canceled because of phase differences. In fact that’s the major benefit of engaging the mono switch. Thanks.
Phono preamp with multiple inputs?? Suggestions please!!
Hi all!
I have 2 tables one is a suspended design and I have 3 tonearms… currently on the market for one with multiple inputs. One of my arms contains a mono cartridge, hence need a mono switch. I like to have one box solution. Would love to control adjustments on the fly but definitely not necessary. I just want that option if possible..
Possibilities are;
Mofi master phono
lab 12 Melto 2
moonriver 505
Any other suggestions or recommendations you are currently using?
Appreciate and suggestions!! Happy Spinning and have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Thank you @elliottbnewcombjr @drbond appreciate the suggestion and prefer to stay under $6-5k if possible. Thank you for clarifying @lewm |
lewm, this is the 1st time you have explained this and 1st time said I was wrong. If so, I thank you for the correction, however, what I hear is .... My McIntosh mx110z has a Mode Switch, I have Stereo and Mono LP’s, and Stereo and Mono Cartridges ready to play. I can play with all 3 arms engaged, and near instantly compare a,b,c with the front switch and MC setting or Pass, some volume differences, I make temporary pencil marks. My friend Jim, met him here, is coming Thursday, I will wait for him, hear what we hear, old and new Mono LPs |
Suffice to say, for the Nth time, that the signals in each channel due to vertical deflection of the cantilever cancel each other because they’re 180 degrees out of phase, when you bridge a stereo cartridge to play a mono LP. Hence hf surface noise is reduced, not “doubled”. Sorry for hijacking the thread. |
