Turntable/ Cartridge Analysis/Setup


I have a Sota Star turntable with what looks like an SME V tone arm and a Koetsu cartridge. I live in the Washington DC area and was wondering if there was a service available to me that could set up my turntable and check the cartridge for wear and verify its performance. Any suggestions? Please help.

Thanks,

Pete

try Bill Thalmann at http://www.musictechnology.com/. He may offer this service, though they are primarily a repair business. He's very good, and I purchased a used turntable from him, as well as a tonearm.
I used Gifted Listener in Chantilly VA a few years ago, but he charged me extra because I didn't buy the equipment from him. At the time it was worth it to me. I wouldn't do business with him again though. There are several high end Dealers in the area that would probably assist you. Try Deja Vu in Mclean VA. It is a very cool shop.703-734-9391.

Good luck!
