New VPI purchase

You will have terrific customer service (that you hopefully will never need).

There is a video for the standard VPI Prime that starts with unboxing the unit to the setup, cartridge mounting and their options on anti skate and how to apply. Video is about 6 minutes long and informational even if you know what you are doing and especially so if you do not. Good luck, go ahead and get your hands dirty.

If you have a Uni-pivot arm, and it's your first time hearing about and using one, you're in for a surprise.

I was under the impression that you can't adjust antiskating on a VPI arm. Have the changed?

Setup should be straight forward. 

Cartridge setup using the supplied jig won't  get the cart aligned for OCD types, but should will get you close enough to enjoy it. Anti skate topic is a no win, try it both ways to hear any difference.

Save yourself some frustration and get this.
