TT with VTA: EasyVTA on lower end table or VPI Prime?

[Intenso]

After some lengthy deliberations, I will get a VPI Super Prime Scout with ADS and a Soundsmith MIMC Star cartridge going to a Vincent PHO 701 with a Brimar 12au7 tube. Should arrive next week :-)
Any hints re adjusting the Soundsmith cartridge? I am pretty new to this so any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nice

If you are refering to the overall set up of the catridge, VPI provide a jig that is very easy to use.

You just need to exercise some care when aligning the cartridge. VPI have some useful set up guides on Youtube...

General set-up is not much of an issue, but the fine tuning is a different story, such as fine adjusting VTA and azimuth. As far as I understand, with the MIMC cartridge, adjusting azimuth for channel balance can result in very bad alignment. It seems that adjustments are mainly by ear, and I am concerned that I will adjust to what I am used to, rather than what the TT & cartridge are capable.

Good choice of Cartridge, I have a friend who swears by his, and has great reviews. Happy listening.
