Did you get the uni-pivot arm or the Gimbal. The Gimbal is much easer to setup or so I am told. I have owned VPI since the 90s you will love it. Don't be too quick to judge the sound that cartridge takes awhile to break in.
Have fun
New VPI purchase
I just purchased a VPI Prime Signature 21. This is my first VPI, is there anything I need to know before I start setting it up? I will be using an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cart.
