Professional Turntable Setup ( Chicago area NW suburbs )

Nobody's set up is so good someone can't find a way to make it better. Especially if that someone has had a hundred or more different situations to learn from first. This is after all an area where sometimes simply moving one lead a few inches further from another one can make a difference. Like the man said, even cartridge fastener torque matters.

But then in that case, my Show Me side says, the answer will be the ear, not the torque wrench. Mikey Fremer, instructed to trust the torque wrench and not his lyin' eyes crushed a cartridge when it turned out the wrench was bad. 

Real curious to know when he gets done with your tables how it went- what he did - and how it sounds.

Lots of comments here. fsonicsmith, good questions, especially whether anyone said it sounded better before than after I did my work. No. Not one. Never. Of course you don't have my client info, so to some extent it's a leap of faith. But I also stand behind what I do. Don't like it, don't pay the standard fee, at which point I undo it. I have a long list of satisfied clients, a few of which are on the website, and I have worked hard for years to earn my reputation. There are a handful of us who do this, and we share the passion and dedication.

Brian Walsh

Brian came to my house Friday and spent the better part of five hours setting up my TD124 with a Cadenza Bronze and my Garrard 301 with a VdH Crimson. 
I am blown away by the improvement. If you go to Brian's site (I think it is against forum rules to link to another audio commercial site but if you google Brian Walsh and "ttsetup" you will find it) and scroll down to the bottom of the home page and hit the facebook link you will see my two turntables and Brian's flattering comments. 
Though my VdH was set close to optimum already, Brian's small corrections transformed the sound. The best way I can describe the difference is that everything "sounds of a whole cloth" now. 
On top of everything else, Brian is an utter joy to talk to. I feel like I made a friend. I can not recommend him highly enough. 

Thank you for your kind words, fsonicsmith.
