I use a Lyra Helikon mono and it is worth to look for. No hum based on its 2 Magnets Design, very good holographic presentation linked with full tones. Works very well with Manley Steelhead.
Searching for perfect mate....Mono Cart and VPI
Of course,nothings perfect,but we do try.After months and months of negotiations I have secured a retired VPI TNT 3 with a JMW Memorial tonearm.I am putting this table back into service as a dedicated MONO machine and need some good suggestions on a great match with a Manley Steelhead (version 2) phono preamp.About 2,000 budget for a mono cart to dance into infinity with the TNT,JMW and the Steelhead?
