Setting up my replacement for my Pioneer turntable/

[Al ears]

And, should I junk this in the pic - is it just rubbish. I think it is the original headshell that came with the Pioneer back in the seventies and I had labelled it as stereo. Things were so very different 50 years ago.

That looks like a headshell with adjustable azimuth for a cartridge that is fixed with no actual adjustment at the fixing point. You don't need it.
For what its worth the cartridge shown will work but, with a conical tip, it isn't going to do the turntable justice.
Spend a bit more on an elliptical stylus at least.

OK, so this month I should just get the cartridge and wait till next month to get a stylus. How does that sound?
Or, maybe get the conical one now and change the actual stylus later?

Bearing in mind that the audio system I will be using is a TV soundbar!!

In that case just get the cartridge you mentioned.
You can always upgrade stylus in the future if required.
How do you plan to play a turntable through a soundbar? Or have I missed something?
