Hi
I'm starting a new project, I want to make a turntable controlled by a microcontroller and I just bought a tonearm from eBay is a Piezo PU- 402 Syntec S-220
Could you please recommend me one or tell me the cartridge that you are using with it?
I know that your taste is different from mine, I only want to know the difference options that I have

FWIW...
I bought one of these tonearms because of its shorter then usual pivot-to-spindle length (205mm).
I don't think this is a particularly high-mass tonearm, but it hasn't worked well for me with high compliance, low tracking weight carts like Grado or a Stanton 681 with elliptical stylus tracking at 1.7g. I also tried it with a Denon DL110, and although I really like that cart in other arms, it didn't sound all that great in the PU-402.
On the other side of the spectrum, I tried it with a Shure M35X (fairly low compliance), and it works fine, but I didn't like the sound much with that either. It could be that I just don't like that cartridge, but I don't know.
However, the tonearm does seem to work really well with an Audio Technica ATVM-95. That's medium compliance, tracks at about 2.0g. That's the one I'm using, and I'm finding it very enjoyable. It's also inexpensive and very easy to find.
