SOTA Star, Grado Refrence arm and XTZ MKV Cart

Hi all,
I have these items ready to set up with a PS Audio 5.5 with sig power supply or a LITEAudio 1S37 tube phono.
I dont feel comfortable with set up so a friend from AGON is gonna help me get it going, should I expect to be pleasently surprised with this setup? This was all a gift and I am thrilled at the chance of great results, what do you experienced guys think?
The arm is also rewired from Monster and unit comes with Vac pump aswell......I have my fingers crossed tightly!

Congratulations! This should be a nice sounding analog front end once you get it broken in and dialed in. If the cartridge and phono stage have not been played recently, plan on giving them about 50 hours of playing time to break in again, then do a final fine-tuning of your VTA and VTF adjustments (by listening, of course!). The Grado XTZ is a nice cartridge that will really demonstrate its merits on acoustic music, and the SOTA Star is a classic.
