This may be a dumb question but here goes. I just bought the Beatles mono box. A friend who is a well informed audiophile told me that "modern" mono lps are designed to play as well with stereo cartridges as with mono ones.
Any thoughts?

Yes
I wonder at what price a Mono cartridge out performs one's more expensive Stereo cartridge.
J Carr from Lyra recommended an Audio Technica AT33 mono cartridge if one did not want to spend big.

it's simply the physics of the situation. a more direct way to read the information, more dynamic energy and less noise.
almost like a completely different format.
I ordered Miyajima Zero mono cartridge to use with mono recordings, hope I like it.
congrats!
I've had my eye on the Zero for awhile, as an upgrade to my Miyajima Mono Premium Be. I look forward to your feedback on the Zero.....everything I've heard about it has been a rave.

That sounds like a good solution for modest mono collections. I can tell you, the rare lyra Olympos mono deliver dynamics, transparency, extension and speed of the very best estalon of stereo carts with mono records.
Even better is if you, as I did, order it directly from Japan and pay only $235.00 plus EMS shipping. It was delivered to my door in less than a week from time of order. I'll be mounting it in the 12.6 arm wand that now takes a back seat to the 12" 3D printed arm that gets the main stereo cart.

Can you provide the link for this? That price is right up my frugal a$$!
Here's the link, but the price has changed in the interim months since I ordered. Some googling might find a lower price...
