I was recently gifted a really nice turntable that needs to be setup and calibrated-it is Project Evolution Xtension 10 with a Sumiko Blackbird Cartridge-I will gladly pay a fellow member who can do this correctly-

I can be reached at seven zero four nine nine nine four seven eight six

That's a nice table. Is the cartridge mounted? Or is that the help you're looking for?

Hi-
Its mounted and playing but would like someone with better skills than i to give it the once over to make sure it’s optimized for best possible playback from this combo
Try Ron Buffington at Liquid HiFi in Indian Land. If he can't do it, he would definitely know someone that can. (704) 953-6034
Repo Records on Commonwealth also has someone they use to set up turntables.
Quite honestly then your "setup" consists in making sure it is perfectly level. That's it! 

You might want to get a stylus force gauge, just to check and be sure that didn't shift in moving it. I would assume the previous owner set that along with VTA and everything else when mounting the cartridge. Most guys get close on VTA and call it good. You being new, that is definitely what you will do.

Everything else beyond this and the sky is the limit. You can get help with the rack, the shelf, you can put it on a Townshend Platform. You can put it on a sand box. You can build a whole separate room for it. You can tweak it with PHT, ECT, fO.Q tape, on and on. There literally is no end to it. 

But as far as "setup" goes, don't make it harder than it has to be. It is level, you are done. Enjoy!
