RE: Anyone running a dedicated mono cart?

Yes I run a second arm with my turntable and that is fitted with an Ortofon 2M Mono SE. The SE version is, I believe, only obtainable direct from the factory. It was introduced as a limited edition originally. The introduction was chosen to coincide with the release of the Beatles Mono box set and Ortofon say that they consulted with Abbey Road about about choice of stylus dimensions etc. Of course it sounds wonderful with other mono discs too!

Summing a stereo cartridge does not quite provide the same outcome as using a true mono cart. My Ortofon windfeld ti is a better cartridge but summed to mono it simply does not impress me on mono discs as much as the 2M Mono SE ( in its native stereo role the Windfeld is sublime).

Like you I just embarked on the mono route just as an experiment. It is now a fixture that I would not want to do without. And oh! that Beatles box :-).
