I have a bunch of gauges, including the Denneson and CartAlign but my favorite is the original arm-specific Wallytractor, just like @wrm57. I do not think they are currently available.

Sorry, but there is no single "perfect theoretical alignment." There are several well known alignment schemes. They even have names, and some are promoted by tone arm manufacturers. None of them is perfect, as the alignment of all of them is wrong almost all of the time. The issue come down to where you want your mostly misalignments to be. |
"'perfect theoretical alignment' to the scheme used by Mint" is, I'm afraid, an oxymoron. There is so much misunderstanding about setting up cartridges that is only enhanced by such statements. Mint probably uses one of the usual standards, Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson or whatever, but fails to note in its advertising what that standard is. Reason enough IMO to stay away. The popular ones have been known for at least three generations. My guess is that they use the most popular one, Lofgren B. It is used by most devices whether expensive or inexpensive. |
