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.

When you put a MC into a MM phono eq. preamp circuitry, if the MC is low output you will have to turn the volume of the preamp WAAAY up loud to hear it, and it still won't be very loud... if it's a High Output MC cart, it may even work... experiment with loading (resistance and capacitance) if the Creek has options for that...
If you win the auction for the table, if it were up to me I'd ditch that cheapo cart. and take the table to a Rega dealer and put a Rega Cart. on it.
