Mirror for cartridge set up?


Has anyone found an effective cartridge set up tool with a mirror? The one that came with my vpi does not inspire confidence. Thank-you

The VPI gizmo isn't bad, but after setting up my cartridge with a MINT, the sound was improved.
Turntable Basics version works great. As a bonus I can slip it behind my pre-amp so I can find & see the recepticles when pluging in cables.

The Turntable Basics version will ultimately cost you $20 more than the MintLP version, because 5 minutes after receiving the Turntable Basics version you'll throw it out and order a MintLP protractor. In the meantime, download the custom arc protractor tool from Conrad Hoffman. IMHO it will facilitate a more accurate setup than the Turntable Basics version even without a mirror.
My brother has the MintLP version and we checked my setup after using the Turntable basics version just cause we could. No adjustment was necessary. Plus it was $110.00 in lieu of $20 for the TB version. Hey, it worked for me.
good luck,

LOL! So true...

I actually have two TTB protractors (one bought, one supplied with my TriPlanar). I keep them for one reason, to sandwich around my Mint to protect it when it's sitting in the drawer.
