Mono Playback system

Any recomendations or advise for setting up a mono playback system ?

Does anyone make an affordable "true" mono cartridge anymore- one that is not statospherically priced (like the Helikon)?

Any advise, comments are welcome.

Thanks,

Ross
 
Last time I needed a mono cartridge, I wired a Shure M91 with the two channels in SERIES (ie, + of one channel to - of the other, and used the two remaining leads as outputs), and it worked just fine. Gives a little extra gain, which is frequently helpful with vintage tube mono preamps/amps/integrateds.

I would think that this procedure should work OK with most cartridges...

I have a Grado MC+ mono cart mounted in my Thorens TD165. They aren't very expensive. I have a couple of NOS GE VR carts here but I opted to go with the Grado in order to keep the tracking force down.
