Setting up a TT is not too difficult. But it takes trial and error to get it done to a satisfying setting. And you have to be very careful on how you handle the cartridge. I was setting up a McIntosh MT 10 for a friend and my finger pass the stylus and it fell off in my hand. I had to send it to Sound-smith to get it repaired. Good thing I had a backup cartridge. I have a VPI Classic IIl which I set up myself. You did not say what TT you have.
