T tenbikes Retro Guru Jul 8, 2023 #1 Not sure if this is possible to DIY but a Ortofon 2m Mono cartridge is £350 and uses a 18mu. conical stylus similar to the £90 2m Red. Is it possible to "monofy" a stereo cartridge ?

T tenbikes Retro Guru Jul 9, 2023 #3 ......if that's the only option I think I'll spring for the £350 !!
Lucidone Raleigh Fan Feedback View Jul 9, 2023 #4 It appears you could bridge two of the outputs on a stereo cartridge which should offer some improvement if not the full mono system experience.

T tenbikes Retro Guru May 11, 2024 #7 Just to update........I bought the 2m mono It is rather good. Certainly sounds better than the 2m Blue for the old mono recordings, and I also use it for some albums that have been 'enhanced' to stereo. They are smoother with the mono cartridge.....
