Anyone can tell me the cartridge shown here?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me which cartridge is this one? Does it go well with the Planar 2? Is it MM or MC?

I will play it with a Creek 4040 and Triangle Celius. I think the 4040 phono is MM. What happens if the cartridge is MC?

This is what the 4040 specs say:

Sensitivity 2.5mV
Loading 47k 220 pf MM

Pardon my ignorance. I am very new to analog.

Guys, thanks so much for the knowledge and the tips. Pardon, again my ignorance, but is the stylus the "needle" or the "cartridge"?

Gp49, you mention that the stylus "pulls off and the new one slides on". How does that work? Is it changing the whole cartridge or only the needle? How can I do it?

Thanks, again.

Also (one more question)

What happens if I put a MC in my Creek? (I assume that the phono at my Creek only takes MM) What happens when you put a MC cartridge through a MM phono?

Again, thanks...

Guys,

Thanks so much! These are helpful.

I think I will try Hdm's first suggestion. A new AT120E doesn't seem very expensive. Do you think that Gdp's comment regarding the AT95E can be applicable to the 120? Can I actually pull the old Linn stylus off and slide the new 120 on? Would I still need a dealer to do that?

Thanks, again, for your advice.

Which one is better the At120E or the Grado Blue? Is there a big difference with the Grado Gold? or the Rega Elys?
