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

There is a world of difference between the Project and the Technics tables.

I have the 1200 and I used to have a Project.  The speed stability of the Direct Drive just sounds so right compared to every belt drive I’ve ever heard, especially the flimsy Projects.  I am using a Ortofon 2M Blue, which I am finding to be a bit screechy in the high treble, but since vinyl is a tertiary source for me I am just going to live with for now.  The Technics is definitely less fiddly than the Project
