any mono folks out there?

I listen primarily to 50's jazz in mono--getting a raven two and deciding on tonearm and cartridge for mono side. Will be played through an arc ph5 pre into mac mono 501's and sonus faber cremonas. Probably will get the triplaner mk vii tonearm and considering otano edison, lyra titan, dyna xvi mono cartridges---any ideas or experience would be hugely helpful-thanks

Wow... thanks for all the info.. I feel guilty, this isn't even my post. Now I need to get a second arm and a good Mono cartridge. The mono records that I have are all from the mid to late fifties and up to the mid sixties. How does one know if they are using the RIAA curve? I see that it is posted on the back of a couple of my records, so should I assume that if the RIAA label isn't on the record that they didn't use the curve?
Thanks,

Norman, this link should get you started in learning more about EQ. Look for additional links at the bottom for reference by label.

If this is not enough, Google a few search words. The net contains lots of info.
