Feickert or Mint. But the most complete and thoughtful design is the SMARTractor. Which is over your budget. If you’re spending more than $2000 on a cartridge you ought to learn how to do setup yourself. A high end precision protractor is something you’ll use literally the rest of your audio life.
The best phono cartridge alignment tool
The best phono cartridge alignment tool. Can anyone recommend a phono cartridge alignment tool that:
- Has both horizontal and vertical (azimuth) alignment
- isn't that complex to use
- is under $300?
Some of the phone cartridges I'm interested aren't available in my area so professional set-up is not an option. If I'm going to spend $2K to $4K on a cartidge I really need to make sure I nail the installation. thanks.
