[QUOTE="Winslow, post: 322509, member: 9104"] www.audiokarma.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-300692.html - Found this it covers a lot and worth a read although as usual separate the wheat from the chaff. I have always played old Mono Lp's with my usual Stereo Cartridges since my school days back in the 60's. Still have those records and they have suffered no damage and still sound great. As for damaging the Cartridge it never happened. My amps have had mono switches but to tell the truth whether engaged or not I have never heard any difference in play back quality. A mono Lp simply plays back Mono on a stereo rig. I don't obsess I listen to music as an emotional artistic performance not in bits and pieces and do not like sound effects. Sure you can go the whole hog but it gets pricey get it sounding the best you can within budget, sit back chill and just listen to the music and sod the rest. See the Puch it will also get you to your destination and when you get there it has been an adventure. [/QUOTE]
