Best Alignment Protractor?


What are the best Alignment Protractors?

I use a modified Mobil Fidelity Sound Lab's Disc.  I added an overhead pin to center on the spindle, dead center.  I may adjust the cartridge, by moving it ever so slightly forward or back to suite me.

I've had a Dr. Feikert protractor for quite a few yeas now and like it very much.

I run two Lyra Atlas Lambda cartridges on Clearaudio 12" Universal arms. I have used the Dr Feickert and the Clearaudio [not the plastic template that ships with thier arms] in the past, but for the past two years or so I use the SMARTTractor with Lofgren B DIN alignment. The SMARTTractor is really easy to use and great for really seeing that the cantilever lines up straight. That has given me best results, both in terms of confidence the alignment is correct and in terms of sinic results.

The SMARTTractor is by far the most expensive of the three, but I got one at substantial discount from MCRU in the UK. In any case, it's well worth it.
