Default Early Merry Christmas to Me - Prime Signature Rosewood

I have had my Scoutmaster for close to 12 years and have loved every moment, it has never let me down. But I kept getting the upgrade bug, but was able to push it back. I finally caved and purchased a Prime Sig. Rosewood and a full loom of Synergistic Research Atmosphere X Euphoria cables. I am waiting on the Avenger Reference feet to arrive next week and I have my eye on the Fatboy as well.

Having a three day weekend is impeccable timing! My plan is to set it up this weekend and get lost in the music!

Is there anything that I should look out for during set up? I will post pics when it's all up and running.

That's a beautiful 'table! I'm a sucker for anything in rosewood. Enjoy! Post some real pictures when the setup is complete!

Impressive looking turntable. It should produce the best that vinyl has to offer, along with pride of ownership.

For precise setup invest in a Fozgometer and an alignment gauge of choice.

Default Early Merry Christmas to Me - Prime Signature Rosewood

Great table. I just got a Prime Sig myself a few months ago. (In Black). It's my first TT but I love it. Which cartridge did you go with? I'm using a Lyra Delos and it sounds amazing. I definitely want to see photos and hear your thoughts, especially with the Avenger feet. Good luck with it, you're going to love it.IMG_0137.jpgIMG_0138.jpgIMG_0136.jpg
