Just purchased this beauty of a turntable, couldn't resist.  It came with an Ortofon VMS30 cart, just arrived today.  However, I need to make sure the cart tone arm is setup properly.  Since this is a totally new table for me some assistance would be nice, also.  I need an affordable solid state pre amp...  Came across a few listings on Amazon.  I currently have a Parks Audio Budgie tube pre amp, nice amp but since I am already using a Cary Audio SLI80, I want to atleast use a solid state pre amp, sounds too tubey IMO.  So recommendations and assistance would be nice~  Budget for a phono is below the $200 range~
