Setting up turntable/Sumiko BluePoint with Pro Ject RS box

I just recently upgraded my Naim system  from Supernait2 to a 282/250DR/SupercapDR, and are beginning to add in my vinyl gear.

I have a Fluance RT81 table, with Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO III moving magnet cartridge, Pro Ject Phono Box RS (see photo) with the DC powered power supply.

My question is the Project has a lot of adjustments on it, and yes I could experiment, it is there a site where members would have guidance for set up, in case this is not the place to find answers? I know I cannot use the XLR outs, which is fine with me. I really don’t want to spend more cash down the vinyl road, as I do not imagine using it that often, but want the option. Thanks in advance

And BTW, my table is the weak link, Fluance mid grade model.  Now looking at either PL8 or Technics 1200G… yeah, just throw money up on the air!!

I reached out to Pro Ject and they got right back to me with setting information, and today I committed to buy a Hana SL, and the dealer has offered me a very great deal on a ML instead, so I have been reading up on the differences.  Just when I thought I had it all figured out!  Seems like with way will be a good choice.

Concerned about the much heavier weight of the ML and clearance over the record on my basic TT

I just got my Hana ML cart delivered.  Got it brand new for $995 all in with tax and shipping.  Can’t wait to set it up this weekend.

also, arriving Friday, a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Signature iii speakers.  I have had since 2007 the 2Ce’s, and have had all the early versions of the 2’s since 1979.  Looking forward to hearing the upgrade!

Mr. M, did you go from Sig iii’s to the Treo’s?  How different is the sound?  Are they physically much bigger?  My sound room is so small, just a converted spare bedroom,  did you buy your Treos new?
