Clearaudio Concept - Used - Careful

what do you think you need to configure on it? Setting up turntables is pretty easy unless you're a total klutz. Based on the picture it appears the only adjustments are on the tone arm (VTA) and cartridge alignment which are really easy to do on my Clearaudio tonearm. I suspect the "contact your dealer" statement is there because their lawyers said it had to be. Indeed - if you read past that statement the manual goes on to explain how to set up all of the parameters, though you may need to study other sources to help you understand what you're doing.

Pdjmwj; you might want to have your local retailer have a look at the turntable to make sure it's working properly. Just a quick look will find the most likely problems. That way you're not trying to set up a turntable that cannot be set up because it's damaged in some way. It shouldn't cost much more than a half hour labor charge.

If you're not sure how the Concept works you can ask the dealer if they would also give you some basic advice on setup and then give it a try yourself. As mentioned in the previous posts, vinyl isn't necessarily simple but neither is it complicated if you stick to the basics.

You could also investigate if there are local audiophiles who would help you set up the TT rather than pursuing dealers. Alternatively, dealers will often set up the TT if you acquire a cartridge from them.

What exactly are you complaining about?

Pdjmwj,

Don't rush out and resell your Concept. It's not as difficult as one may think in setting up and verifying a turntable set up. Don't be afraid of stepping into the vinyl world, you may very well enjoy it.

Once you get the Concept set up or verified to be in proper st up you needn't bother with that stuff anymore. Unless you like to in future try out other cartridges.

A local dealer who may do vinyl will likely help you out if you are afraid to set things up. If you feel he does a good job and maybe has not asked for a fee shoot him a few dollars for his time to make you feel better.

Vinyl playback is not just a simple drop and load as a CD or boot up an online set up but boy oh boy if you catch the vinyl bug you may really love the adventure.

Don't sweat it all ok? It's worth the initial bother to get a very nice vinyl rig going and a Clearaudio Concept is a sweet rig for the money.
