Well Tempered Reference Arm


Can anyone provide answers to the following:

What is the............

1) Effective length (in millimeters)

2) Mounting distance (spindle to pivot)

3) Offset angle

I'm trying to get this info so Mint LP can devise their protractor for me.

Dear Mred: With the Donaudio effective length you only have to deduct/subtract the overhang value to know the spindle/pivot distance, at least that's the way with almost any pivot tonearm.

Dear Mred: I wonder if you have a trouble with your tonearm/cartridge alignment on the past or today: is it something wrong with your tonearm/cartridge performance?

from this " manual ": http://www.vinylengine.com/library/well-tempered/arm.shtml

it seems to me that you can/could make the alignment but maybe I could be wrong.

Now if you must needs the thread tonearm " numbers " maybe you can/could try to contact Transparent Audio ( Karen Summer. ) that build for years the WT products or to Andy Payor ( Rockport Technologies ) who made some re-designs about, maybe they could help you.

Anyway, with the WT protractor you have the effective length ( from stylus tip on the protrator to the bearing center ) and you have too the " mounting distance ( spindle center to the bearing center )and for subtraction the overhang and you say already have the offset angle. Of course that you have to make/take, with the right measure tool, those measures.

Anyway, it is almost incredible that the world distributor of WT can't answer to its customers.
