Some original mono records will be played also with a mono cartridge . If you use  Stereo cartridge playing older mono's , more prominent background noise must usually be expected. I use the following system for graduation: VOYD The Voyd 3 motor turntable / HELIUS Omega Silver Ruby tonearm / AUDIO NOTE IOII cartridge into AN-S8 Step up transformer . Amplification is all from Audio Note: M3 phono/Conqueror and E/D Speakers.

Bid/Purchase with confidence and check out my feedback. I have sold thousands of records on and off Ebay during the last 6 years  , being a collector myself  I have high standards.  Most records are professionally cleaned on my VPI 17F  record cleaning machine and all items are visually graded in strong light and will be played before listing . I try to offer the best possible service for my customers and if there is any problem with a product , contact me, and we will work it out. See my ``About Me'' page for more information.
