It has a mono\/stereo button too so some older stereos that too loved also sounding good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had previously tried to replace a ceramic cartridge on a wooden schools mono because knobbled stereo Garrard Deck from 1976. Having seen the error of my ways (all electrics were under the bonnet state of art 1976 and it only mono by default) and had a repalcement stylus which correct one for the deck it now my singles bar deck as the auto return etc shot.
