La Platine tonearm help needed.


Hi,

Need some help from analog novice here

Could anyone tell me the model of this tonearm and cartridge?
It looks like a Schick and Sony(?) cartridge to me. It also looks like Ortofon stuff

What kind of phono cables should I go for this tonearm? Regular pair of RCAs or one singled ended?
Any recommendations for phono cables and cartridges for this arm?

Thank you in advance

Thanks so much. Do you happen to know the model name of Schick by any chance? Since I have not received the TT and tonearm yet, I am having a hard time following your comment on wiring. Does it mean that Schick comes with original non-RCA cable and I need to do a little mod, convert to RCA, connect to the phono stage? Sorry if I got it wrong.

Also, do you have Da Vinci tonearm and 2nd arm board for sale?
Analog is far more difficult and complicated than I thought but it's also very fun to learn. Thank you. Reed also looks nice. Also realized the analog will cost a fortune and it could be endless :)
Aha..I plan to purchase the Ortofon SPU classic GE mk2 stuff.
I found some comments on this stuff from the Audiogon La Platine forum somewhere and it meets my budget under 1K.
