As some of you may recall, I had inquired about purchasing a cartridge for an AR "The Turntable" back on "the other site" a while back. Due to some other purchases that came up, I never got around to picking up a cartridge yet. Here's my dilemma. The AR TT & arm is BRAND new and never been used. I purchased it new in appr. 1984 / 85 as a gift for my father and it sat in the box until very recently. I took it out of the box to check it out and that is it. It has never had a cartridge mounted or spun a disc. Given the fact that i still have a few hundred LP's that should be in excellent shape, should i go with this table and factory arm or sell it and find another table ? Teamed with a decent cartridge ( i was leaning towards a Sumiko BPS)and a Ringmat, will this setup function pretty decently or is there something else out there that is reasonably priced that can easily beat the performance of this combo ? Keep in mind that i already have the TT and arm, but this could be sold to work towards the purchase of something else. Any help appreciated Sean

If it runs properly then just keep it, but add an
easy cartridge like the unfashionable Stanton 881.
This won't tax the arm too much, and anyway, highly-compliant
MMs were more in fashion back when that turntable was born.
