TT set up in the Bay Area

Just got my new TT and the people that I bought TT from didn't set it up correctly, so I'm looking for someone in the bay area that's good on the TT set up. I completely reset up the TT but would like someone to check out what I did. The TT is sounding pretty good but have a bit of sssssssss sound. Can anyone advise with my problem. My TT is a VPI HW-19 JR with Audio Quest PT-9 arm, Sumiko Blue Point Special cart and Creek OBH-8SE phono pre. I will be returning the Creek and getting something else. Has anyone ever tried the Audio Experience Concerto tube Phono pre?
If any newbie is buying TT from Audio Advisor beware that they suck in setting up TT! but they did give me a good deal on the equipment. What IC between phono pre and preamp?

I strongly urge you to contact Nick Gowan at Truesound in Campbell, CA; just south of San Jose. Nick carries Dynavector as well as Audio Note, Mistral, Spendor, Rega, and Mutine (Vecteur, Audiomat). He will set up your turntable impeccably as well as help you with any cartridge issues if you wish to acquire a cartridge. His number is 408-370-7578. Nick used to run the service shop for the Audible Difference in Palo Alto when there were REALLY high end and customer oriented.
