The best phono cartridge alignment tool

Dr, Feickert is one of the best and reasonably priced. it allows all three profiles of alignment to be used, its very accurate and easy to use.. I used it to set up my Koetsu cart perfectly.

Best Tractor/ Arc Protractor----i own one for each arm. easy to see with my 70 year old eyes, unambiguous. a no brainer.

i own a number of other alignment tools including the Feickert but never use them.

I use a Feickert along with one of these to help with azimuth:

@mikelavigne +1, setting up a cart with the Mint could not be easier. FWIW, get the jewelers loop and your all set. Enjoy the music

I've owned and used many of the protractors used for setting up arms.  Unfortunately, most of the better ones do cost more than $300.  If you can easily find the center of the pivot of the arm, the easiest to use is the SmarTractor.  It is a one point alignment and the device never has to be rotated to a different position.  It is very easy to see when the alignment is correct.  The Wally Tools device requires more work, but, it gives one more confirmation that the alignment is correct and one does not have to find the center of the arm pivot.  The Feikert is reasonably easy to use, sort of like the SmarTractor, but, I like the very precise markings on the SmarTractor more.
