    Yup.
    Awesome TT though. Someone once told me that when I describe this setup (which I have) I sound like Ralphie describing the red ryder BB gun in his theme paper. :lol:

    If you're buying it new it will already be set up.

    It will come with instructions on where to set the anti-skate, counter weight, etc,.

    Learning how to set anti-skate, cartridge alignment, VTA and tonearm balancing is something every turntable owner should do.

    Well we certainly need to know how to balance the tonearm, etc. That's why there are instructions that come with the TT. I see no reason for someone to know how to align a cartridge when they have experts do it for them. If they want to do it themselves, yes, obviously.

    I guess it comes down to how much one wants to rely on others to do simple tasks. Aligning a cartridge is pretty simple and just about anyone could learn how to do it in under an hour.

    Congrats! You've had it for a while now - just saw this now. How do you like it? You've probably figured out by now that yes, they aligned your cartridge. ;) Which cartridge did you get for it? I've got the Ortofon 2M Red.

    Don't leave him hanging PjSoul :dizzy:
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
