I've never used this particular table but it should work well with any high quality cartridge such as a moving coil coil or moving magnet. I would think that the Shue V15 would be a good choice. As far as tracking force goes, read what the cartridge manual recommends and go from there. VTA should be set by ear. I usually prefer the headshell end of the arm to angle down toward the pivot end slightly. The cartridge will come with an overhang gauge.
