first vinyl purchase for new tt

I had a cartridge gaffe as in i got one that was recommended for the tt but mismatched for the dartzeel preamp so am now waiting for dl-103 moving coil denon cartridge to arrive before being able to have my first real vinyl experience in my listening room.

I picked the denon tt because many people here like it and its cost is very modest (budget + wife patience taxed) + recommended direct drive by my dealer jonathan tinn who of course sells perhaps the ultimate direct drive: well received grand monaco.

Lot of great ideas thanks
So far to test/ practice my first tt when the denon cartridge arrives is inexpensive stuff.much from the budget bin but for first two:

Sarah vaughan "no count"
Mingus "mingus dynasty"
Steve winwood "arc of a diver"
Traffic "john barleycorn"
Rickie lee jones "pirates"
Joe jackson big world
