I use vinyl only and have recently lost all hearing in my right ear and I am just daydreaming about a Mono A&R P77 in my Ittok. If you only have one ear, is there any point in having a stereo cartridge ?
What can be done . How do mono cartridges differ from a stereo cartridge? Is it just the wiring inside the cartridge body? I can simulate mono by joining both right and left signal input but is that the same as having a mono cartridge.
Or is it just the LP itself that defines mono or stereo and a mono cartridge must read a mono LP . Can I simulate mono from a stereo record ? Or is it different somehow? Does anyone prefer mono to stereo as in black and white versus colour in photography?
It would be wonderful to have a mono stylus assembly and a stereo stylus assembly for the same body but would it still depend on the record itself ?
just wondering........
