Best arm for a mono cartridge

Given that a mono cart has to move in one dimension and not two, is there an arm that you would recommend for this? I have a Phantom II with ZYX Airy 3 for my stereo but my Transrotor Fat Bob could take a second arm.

The arm still has to move in x and y axis. Depends on the cartridge. A Jelco SA750 is an excellent inexpensive arm suited to lower compliance cartridges.

Contact Jeff at Audiomods for his opinion on his arms. He builds them almost from scratch and probably has a lot of knowledge in this area. He is very responsive Cheers
