Professional Turntable Set Up in Kentucky?


Does anyone know of a professional set up person in driving distance of the Lexington KY area? Spoke with Brian Walsh not long ago but he's not going to be in this region anytime soon.

Its ok stereo5.  Seems to be the norm around here anymore lol.  ;)

mijostyn there are not any high end dealers near. Colin in Nashville reached out from Gestalt Audio.  
Let me know if you find anyone near Kentucky. I'm interested as well.

Fyi, I have a 7.3 (do you still have yours?) and recently upgraded to an AT Art9. Really amazing sounding cart even if it's not a perfect match for my arm.

I sold the 7.3  several weeks ago after I purchased a VPI Classic. The 7.3 is a very nice sounding table and I bet the Art 9 sounds very good? The 7.3 can take a much better cart than the 2M Bronze.  

Miller and Stingreen I have set the TT myself but wanted to make sure it was fine tuned.  Maybe I'm being anal however, read that an experienced set up person with software and all the right tools really makes a turntable perform its best. People swear by them who have had this done. 

In addition, once I unhooked the anti-skate mechanism it is sounding much better. 
dweller I can understand why they don't.  I was terrified at first but once I watched a friend help set up mine I thought hell fire I can do this. Actually it was fun but time consuming.  Watched a Michael Fremer video but I don't have his tools and expertise of course plus now there are software packages that really dial everything in. For a few hundred dollars why not get the most out of your system.  
No problem Tablejockey.  Never took it in a condescending way.  Fine tuning our investments going down this vinyl rabbit hole seems like a decent idea to squeeze out the best performance and piece of mind.  Especially considering the reviews I'm reading after a pro dials everything in. Just my 2 cents 😂
I recently purchased a Manley Chinook SE MK 2. It is quite good in my opinion.  Before that I had Musical Fidelity MX VINYL.  At the $1000 price point it is fantastic but felt the need to upgrade once and for all.  I do agree play the best LPs possible.  It's amazing how many pressings out that do not sound very well at all.  But when you find a good one its audio heaven  :). 

Thank you Tablejockey for the kind words and advice. 
I spoke with Brian several weeks ago.  He said he won't be in this region as originally thought unfortunately.    
thankful,

Thank you for the information. Did a Google search for high end shops in Louisville and came up with nothing. Also, asked a couple of buddies who know a couple audiophiles in Louisville and they confirmed there are none.
