SOTA Star, Grado Refrence arm and XTZ MKV Cart

Hi all,
I have these items ready to set up with a PS Audio 5.5 with sig power supply or a LITEAudio 1S37 tube phono.
I dont feel comfortable with set up so a friend from AGON is gonna help me get it going, should I expect to be pleasently surprised with this setup? This was all a gift and I am thrilled at the chance of great results, what do you experienced guys think?
The arm is also rewired from Monster and unit comes with Vac pump aswell......I have my fingers crossed tightly!

Chadlinz,

What a great gift. You're going to have a lot of fun with this set-up. Hopefully you have some set-up tools to give you some guidance on VTF and cartridge alignment. As Rushton mentions for fine tuning VTF and VTA just rely on your ears.

I owned the Star with vacuum pump which served me well for several years. It's an awesome TT. I had SOTA upgrade my original Star Series III to a Nova Series V just recently. Originally I ran my SOTA Star with a PS Audio 4.5, Grado Platinum cartridge and AudioQuest PT-6 tonearm. I'v since upgraded but I remember how well that set-up sounded.

Best of luck with your set-up.
