Which arms share the Rega Geometry?
You’re willing to spend money on a new arm, but balk at the price of a new armboard?! I’m looking for an easy drop in temporary solution while my new table is being built. Then when I sell the table, the arm goes with it.

What are some high impedance cartridges?
I'd be more inclined to switch SUT and look for low impedance carts ;)   You’re right of course. Looking for a shortcut though just to play around with different carts…  
What are some high impedance cartridges?

Just to follow up in case anyone is interested. The low frequency rumble is being picked up by the SET amp I'm using. It's in a weird bass trap spot. It goes away when I swap amps to SS. I'm plugging in a subsonic filter tomorrow to see if that he...

It's definitely a low frequency sound wave, not a rumble, not surface or groove noise.  I'm going to try a suspended turntable just to see if that would be a potential solution. I

I'm using Edensound TerraCones on my Aries. The Townshend is about $1k for my table. Pretty steep.
