WTL Simplex for use with Mono recording
« on: 14 Dec 2022, 12:09 am »
Hello Everyone

I am thinking of using a Simplex as a second setup for mono recordings. I am looking for a recommendation on a good mono cart that won't break the bank.

Thanks Dave

Hello Dave, I have the same idea as you have.  I have an original well tempered turntable 1990 vintage with the square motor that I would like to use for mono recordings but I am looking for a Well Tempered dealer to set up the WTArm with a mono cartridge.  I recall of a dealer in downstate Illinois, but cannot remember his name.  Hope somebody out there has some information.  Trying to find a WTLab dealer that also has a cartridge you can afford and that also works with the WTArm is not easy.  Good luck with your project, let me know how you progress.

Hi:

I realize this thread has been dormant 18/19 months but do the original posters have a follow up and does anyone have any input?  I’ll be happy to start a new thread as Killian if need be or  if requested.  I realize I’m not offering any ideas at this point but I could.

Thanks from Killian.

Morning,

One might contact their WTL regional distributor https://www.welltemperedlab.net/where-to-buy/ for their nearest dealer.

One person's budget is another's excessively extravagant. Without sharing one's budget & willingness to buy used or only new, useful recommendations are difficult.

FWIW, my preamp has a stereo/reverse/mono/left/right selector knob. What would a mono cartridge provide that switching to the appropriate setting doesn't?
