NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert


Good Evening All,

I am looking to purchase a new cartridge (targeting Hana SH or MH) for my VPI Aries I turntable. Ultimately, however,  I would like to commission an expert to come to my home and help setup the cartridge/TT. Does anybody have any recommendations (outside of Fremer, $500 for a setup is outside my budget) in the NYC/NJ-metro area that provides this service, perhaps a dealer, and is good at it? 

Thanks!

Call Nick at the Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. He is Johnny R’s vinyl guy and has set up my turntables since 1995. He has a few of the Hana cartridges on display for demo.

Good Luck!
Joey, 

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. I actually emailed Audio Connection last week inquiring about this and they never responded to me, sadly.

 Thanks for your email
Yes, Audio Connection is a VPI and Hanna dealer.
  Please excuse the unconscionable delay
   best to phone call Audio Connection
 It would always be best to bring in the table as Nick has unmovable test equipment and a reference system that your table would be finalized with.
If purchasing a cartridge any additional cost would be assessed on time and if any parts Belt etc needed and fairly priced.

I’m in Plainfield, NJ, 07062. where are you?

If in NJ, close, I’m retired, have time and the needed tools, years of experience, and will help you mount and set it up for the exorbitant price of 1 beer (after completion!).

Not ’expert’ like people who charge for it, just ’experienced, it will sound great’ setup. I'ts acquired skills and confidence, not rocket science.

You will do it, with my tools and guidance, and thus end up confident for future adjustments yourself.
