" ... Who picks his arm first, then his cartridge? Or his amp first, then for a speaker it works well with? A knucklehead. "
As a practical matter, I think many audiophiles choose their arm first, and then the cartridge. After all, for many of us, we'll buy a fine pickup arm and use it for years and years and years, as phono cartridges wear out and come and go. That's certainly what I've done. IIRC, I'm on my fourth cartridge with my present arm.
And I agree with Ralph. If you buy a proper turntable/pickup arm/cartridge/phono preamp combo, it'll be fine with any kind of music. I have exactly one phono system, and it sounds great - from Bach to rock, as they used to say.
