David, according to my notes, my Zero is set at 4.0 grams tracking. I think we did 1000 ohms loading. I remember the tracking force is pretty heavy. Stirling Trayle is my TT setup guy, so he dialed in things. My Zero is in a VPI wand. Good listening. It is a great cartridge. Larry
David,
I’m tracking mine at 3.5g with great results. Antiskating set to 3.0
Do you have a Miyajima ETR-Mono? It’s superb with the Zero.

So you are playing the ETR into your stereo phono? Are you throwing a mono switch?
No, I am using my Doshi phono preamp with the Zero.
My experience with the Miyajima Zero into my stereo phono pre is very similar to playing a mono tape through my preamp. No issues. What I get with a good mono recording is a fabulous big sound. I have to listen for specific instrument locations to realize that it is a mono recording. Otherwise, it just is a great big, wide and deep sound. The surface noise of older mono recordings is also greatly reduced. I play with the phono EQ settings on early pre RIAA mono recordings.
