Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment

Looks like Dertonarm has put his money where his mouth is and designed the ultimate universal alignment tractor.

Early days, It would be great to hear from someone who has used it and compared to Mint, Feikert etc.

Given its high price, it will need to justify its superiority against all others. It does look in another league compared to those other alignemt devices

Wrm57,
Which UNI-IEC template did you try? And was the Baerwald template IEC or DIN? (or other?)

Wrm 57, There is this German saying: 'If theory and practice coincide then they are probable both false'. However in theory there should be no difference between the
Mint Lp and the UNI-pro in your case. So, I assume, you like Dertonarm more then Yip ?

My templates are labeled UNI-IEC and IEC Baerwald. The former is Daniel's recalculation of the Baerwald geomtery, as I understand it.

Wrm57,
Thanks. Not sure what the UNI-IEC is... I am curious. I will have to dig further.

The Baerwald alignment using the UNI-Pro sounded better on the Graham than the Wally and better on the Universal than the MintLP. It also sounded better than the UNI-IEC alignment. At some point, I'll go back and realign again using all and recheck, but I was pretty careful the first time through the process, so for now I'll just enjoy the music.
