Moerch Tonearm Users... alignment question.

Moerch method ?? No, I haven't tried it, and I can't see how it can be accurate. I used the Clearaudio protractor which is not so precision. The MintLP is arc protractor where you can zero in. But you need a very good eye sight. I always have a hard time using it. I'll be getting the Uni protractor in a near future.

Moerch's method is to line the sylus tip to the leading edge of the head of the arm and then check the overhang with a ruler between the spindle and the tip. There's a lot of gray area in it all. I ordered the Mint and I'll report back.

Hi Dhcod,

When you get your MintLP, you can check how way off you are. The beauty of Mint is that arc start almost at the spindle and extend way beyond your platter. You won't need any special skill, just patience.

Cheers,

I have a regular red dot arm on my DP6. I have to admit that my stylus is pretty damn close to the end of the arm, so even if that is not a "perfect" alignment per a prottractor it is a good place to start.

The MintLP is INCREDIBLE. Solved all my problems. Yes, stylus definitely right on the edge of the tonearm for me-- so Moerch is probably accurate. The key for me is that my stylus is not perfectly straight and the MintLP took care of the little distortions I was getting because of that...
