NYC/NJ Turntable Setup Expert


Good Evening All,

I am looking to purchase a new cartridge (targeting Hana SH or MH) for my VPI Aries I turntable. Ultimately, however,  I would like to commission an expert to come to my home and help setup the cartridge/TT. Does anybody have any recommendations (outside of Fremer, $500 for a setup is outside my budget) in the NYC/NJ-metro area that provides this service, perhaps a dealer, and is good at it? 

Thanks!

I’m in Plainfield, NJ, 07062. where are you?

If in NJ, close, I’m retired, have time and the needed tools, years of experience, and will help you mount and set it up for the exorbitant price of 1 beer (after completion!).

Not ’expert’ like people who charge for it, just ’experienced, it will sound great’ setup. I'ts acquired skills and confidence, not rocket science.

You will do it, with my tools and guidance, and thus end up confident for future adjustments yourself.

well my friendly offer sure shut this thread down.

an acknowledgement and polite decline would have been nice.

Got your email last week, thanks for getting back to me and no worries at all about the delay.  Will be giving you a call during business hours!

My sincere apologies on the delayed response, I have been in the midst of a grueling move (2,000+ lbs of stereo equipment and records sure doesn't help) and haven't been paying my usual attention to the hifi world. Very generous offer and an example of the good that this little community offers. I am at the end of the moving process, might be able to take you up on that!
elliottbnewcombjr,

If I lived in Plainfield, I would be calling you.  There are some that find it difficult to set up turntable correctly.  You can show that how to do it, so they can do it the next time.  Since you are retired, you should offer your services on craigslist.  You can charge to cover your gas and a little for your time.
