Clearaudio Concept - Used - Careful

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.

In other words - don't blame the turntable for your inability to set it up correctly. Surely you knew about the learning curve regarding vinyl. The 'plug and play' mentality is what landed us in the age of the cd and the ipod. Read up, and try again in a year or two. Good luck.

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.
