I've been finding some good vinyl cheap recently (for example, I found
two of the three Harry James D2D Sheffields for a total of $6, some
cool Ella recordings on Verve, some old six-eyes Columbia recordings
for a couple of bucks each, etc.). They are all in mint condition.

I haven't been able to pass them up even though my turntable is in
storage right now out of state. The stipulations:

I'd like a reasonable turntable (under $500) and a recommendation for
a cartridge that will perform well with whatever arm is on the table.

Used is very acceptable if they're readily available. I don't want to
have to dig or hunt for months to get it.

Bratzi and 2pid can respond with recommendations only if they promise
to give up stupid OT posts for a year. And 2pid also has to promise
not to sing the praises of his POS Mitsubishi.

Does anybody have any recommendations?

*You already shot yourself in the foot because you want a cart that
will perform with any arm. Cartridge compliance and arm mass are
highly interrelated. You are asking for a shock absorber that works on
a Geo Metro AND a '62 Imperial just as well.

*Either pick the ARM you want and find a cart or vice versa.

Read it again. I said "a recommendation for a cartridge that will
perform well with whatever arm is on the table." So if somebody thinks
a used Rega Planar 2 with an RB-250 arm is the best in that range I'm
asking for their recommendation as to what cartridge they're recommend
for that combination.

What's been "shot in the foot" is your inability to understand simple
English.

Since you've answered you've agreed not to post OT comments here for a
year. Thank you for that.

((I'm sure most other people here thank you for agreeing to that as
well. Shhhh!))
