Professional Turntable Setup ( Chicago area NW suburbs )

 I had Brian Walsh of ttsetup.com over yesterday to set up my turntable using 
all the latest gadgets, Feickert  software and a host of other tools. Amazing results.
 If you take your vinyl playback seriously the cost absolutely justifies the results.
Do yourself the favor of knowing with absolute certainty that your rig is dialed in perfectly.
It is a joyous feeling knowing it is perfect. I was treated to the best vinyl playback last night
after his visit.
 You think you might have your table/cart dialed in, unless you have this done I can guarantee you do not.
 This service gets my highest recommendation, Really, don't delay, best money ever spent on my analog rig.
 Before this, I always wondered is it the best I can get my table to sound? I now know it wasn't. Now it is after Brian visited.

I know Brian from the 90's. He was President of the Chicago Audio Society for years and is a straight shooter.

...good information, but I'd recheck it myself.  I've seen too many pros with too many errors.

He has been setting up tables now for 10 years.
 Stringreen, when you check , can you check to see your crosstalk between channels, frequencies while running test records supplied by Dr, Feickert . The software program does so much more.

 I'd almost be willing to bet the service cost if a substantial difference wasn't heard by anyone who had Brian set up.
 As good as you think you are at turntable setup, you'd be outdone by his service. Just saying ( with as much enthusiasm as I can ).

Thank you all for the kind words, especially you, Bill. I enjoy doing it, but most of all love seeing and hearing people’s reactions when it’s done.

I’m making a road trip through parts of Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan soon to do some setups, so anyone else who is interested should contact me immediately. I expect I’ll be doing more of these, not just within the midwest.

Incidentally, I offer two levels of setup, basic and ultimate. The latter which most people choose includes optimizing azimuth, stylus rake angle, etc.

I'm also getting up to speed using the Analog Magik software and use their torque driver to correctly set cartridge mounting screw torque...LOL but it makes a difference.

Regional "tours" by ground and air in the future. Currently someone in Minneapolis is looking for someone to split travel expenses. Love the Twin Cities.
