Hi All,
It's been a while, so if this has already been covered please direct me to the proper link.
I just hooked up a new Shelter 501 mk II Mono cartridge and started listening to some of the mono albums in my collection. I was stunned at how good these albums sound with a good mono cartridge.
I'm running a SME Model 10 turntable with the Model 10 arm which I'm told is just like the SME 309 arm. It has a detachable headshell. I bought an extra headshell and mounted the Shelter 501 mono cart.
The Manley Steelhead Phono Preamp I'm using has a switch for mono called "Sum" and seems to work pretty good.
My stereo cartridge is the Shelter 501 mk II Stereo cartridge. Now I can swap out mono/stereo cartridges without a whole lot of fuss.
Anybody else out there having fun with mono? (cartridges)
Ray
