   Some receivers/amps don’t have a phono input, and because you need a suitable preamp (which also imposes RIAA equalization) for a phono cartridge you can’t directly connect a turntable. You can buy a stand alone phono preamp and connect the turntable to it, then to an AUX (or other) input. If your amp/receiver has a phono input you can connect a turntable.

   I don’t understand your question… The PST33 came with a moving magnet magnetic cartridge installed and anything someone may have replaced it with is 99.999% likely to be a moving magnet as well. If you have the original moving magnet cartridge, the stylus should look like this… http://www.lptunes.com/Sony-PS-T33-PST33-PS-T33-turntable-stylus-p/stpst33.htm

   If you know about needing a phono preamp with a receiver having no input marked "phono"… you should be good to go. Simply plug the turntable straight into an input marked "phono" (no preamp necessary)… or into any line-level input (CD, DVD, tape, aux, etc…) using an outboard phono preamp. Most turntables have a ground wire which should be attached to a ground terminal on the chassis of your preamp or receiver. If that doesn’t work… you likely have a damaged turntable or cartridge.
