Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?

I have a pal who asked me to post this question.I mentioned to him that I had heard that the Wally tools are superb,and that some have stated it was better than the supplied Graham stuff,for setting up the arm.I know some of you guys to be real "mavens" when it comes to the finer points of things analog(that's a compliment),so told him I'd go to the "source",and report back.

Also,I have heard it's tough to get in touch with Wally,and some dealers I know have had no success.How does one get the necessary Wally stuff?Also,do you feel there is a "real benefit" to using that stuff,over the supplied Graham set-up stuff?Thanks fellas!!

Best!

I own a Wally Tracker Mirror for my Morch UP-4 Arm made for my VPI Table and I like using it But sparingly.When I do finally get it out I must clear my kithcen table,put the VPI on that, attach my big drafting table lamp with high magnification to the kithcen table,now put on a triple magnification jewlers hat and then line up point zero and one over and over again
until the sweat beads start dripping from my bald head.But thats the fun of Analog you say,and yes my ears do reward me after completing this 2 hour task.
I use to own the Mobile Fidelity black plastic alignment platter.So Easy So Fast,But to easy to screw things up.
One last point to make.Whenever I play those big thick 200 gram LP's from Classic Records I need to start the whole process all over again,But I've given up for now .I haven't used the Wally Tracker in atleast 1 year,and all I really want to do now is just spin LP's like Raul does.
Happy Listening
