The goal of Dr. Feickert NG is that it can be used for adjustment/alignment of ANY tonearm on ANY turntable and PS is measurable for all size of tonearms. Also using Feickert we can choose which alignment method we want to use (Baerwald, Lofgren or Stevenson). This is universal and it’s like having 3 protractors in one.
First step for any alignment is tonearm/turntable PS (pivot to spindle distance) measurement.
I use Dr.Feickert NG not only when I adjust cartridges, but when I swap tonearms and adjust them, this is where PS is required first and it’s the most critical.
If you have only one turntable with fixed tonearm (fixed PS by the manufacturer) and willing to use only one alignment method then you can use some other basic protractors. You can buy Hi-Fi Tesl LP and there is a free protractor inside!
