TT set up in the Bay Area


Just got my new TT and the people that I bought TT from didn't set it up correctly, so I'm looking for someone in the bay area that's good on the TT set up. I completely reset up the TT but would like someone to check out what I did. The TT is sounding pretty good but have a bit of sssssssss sound. Can anyone advise with my problem. My TT is a VPI HW-19 JR with Audio Quest PT-9 arm, Sumiko Blue Point Special cart and Creek OBH-8SE phono pre. I will be returning the Creek and getting something else. Has anyone ever tried the Audio Experience Concerto tube Phono pre?
If any newbie is buying TT from Audio Advisor beware that they suck in setting up TT! but they did give me a good deal on the equipment. What IC between phono pre and preamp?

Hey Jsawhitlock, we have set up a local Audio Asylum "support" group here in the Bay Area. The group started out about 15 months ago with several guys met on Audio Asylum, but now the group has over 35 members from various backgrounds. Most of the guys spin vinyl. We get together about once a month or so at someone's house to enjoy some music (range from classical to free jazz to rock) and food. So far, I have helped out several people setting up tables and cartridges. E-mail me if you are interested to come to our next get-together or need some more help on your turntable.
