Took the plunge: waiting for my Linn Axis w/ Basik Plus arm

No waiting for this TT after winning the auction. I'm sure it will be a pleasant upgrade from my early 80's Yamaha. I read some people saying it compared very will with a Rega P3 in most areas, and since I was looking for good PRaT and neutrality, it tipped the scales for me in favour of the Linn.

So, what are some of the things I should watch out for when setting it up? I've read over the manual on the Linn website, and it seems pretty straight forward. Are there any trouble spots or issues to check with these decks?

What is a good cart that has synergy with this deck? I've read most suggest a good MM. I've got an Ortofon X5-MC right now - I like the sound and the tracking is superb, but I'm kind of worried that's not going to be a good match. Maybe I'll have VTA issues with it?
