Looking for expert turntable setup guru


I am looking for an expert turntable setup guru.

I have contacted more than ten dealers and other shops up to one hundred miles away.  Not a single one has shown any experience of performing the install.

Turntable is set up and working well. I need support to remove and install van den Hul cartridge.  I am in the Washington DC area. I prefer someone to do it onsite.

Ref:    Turntable Oracle Delphi, Tonearm Eminent Technology ET-2, van den Hul cartridge.

Where are you located relative to Fairfax Station, VA?  The reason I ask is that I will be there for the annual family gathering for Thanksgiving and would be happy to help you if you are reasonably close by.  I do not have all my set up stuff with me, but as luck would have it I do have AnalogMagik with me so we can check everything.  Frankly not much is needed for the ET2 as it is one of the easiest tonearms to set up ever made.  I assume you have the air pump all sorted.  All that you need are tools to mount the cartridge and a scale to set VTF.  I set up turntables all the time, have been doing it since I was a college student in Seattle in the 1970s.  I do this at no charge, it is just my hobby.

sorry I would help but I am on the wrong coast to be of any assistance

I’m sure someone here would hold your hand via a video call to take you through the necessary steps to do it yourself?

Michael Trei is your man. He is in New York and is excellent. He recently did a complete install of a new turntable, tone arm, and cartridge for me and this is what he does. He also writes a column on turntables for one of the magazines and did one of the seminars at CAF on turntable set up. Nobody more qualified
