Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions

It's good. It does not come with a strobe light. I suggest you contact Ken Willis in the Vinyl section of Audioasylym.com and check out his protractors. They are the simplest I have ever used. Good luck.

I've owned the Feickert and and Ken Willis' arc protractor.
I sold the Feickert.

Dan ed, have you compared the Ken Willis to the MintLp to KNOW there is a difference? If you have I will have to consider buying a MintLp protractor. If not, Ken's protractor is a bargain at $55

Dan ed, I'm not challenging your opinion. I just want to know. I prefer Ken's to the Feikert. Both of which I bought. If the MintLp is actually, not just theoretically, better I will have to buy one. Most importantly, is there a difference in sound after a setup with each? $90 is a good price.

I'm finally out of that stage. As long as it sounds good I don't worry about it. I'm not one to use a 6 step, 15 minute process to clean a record either. It's simply not worth it to me. Ken's is the easiest protractor I've ever used. The MintLp certainly warrants further investigation but, unless, I can hear the difference it is a moot point.

The Ken Willis protractor has provisions for all three geometries (sp?). Right now I have my Audioquest PT-6/Denon DL-160 set up for Stevenson feeling it sounds better than Baerwald. I have not tried Lofgren. I echo the positive comments about this thread. It's the epitome of information sharing without the messianic tone of trying to convert posters as so many threads seem to do.

I haven't yet ordered the protractor yet. I'm just not convinced I need it. I did order a sample of their record cleaner. Below is an initial review I posted on Vinyl Asylum.

I ordered the free sample offered at the website. I normally avoid multi-step cleaning processes because life is to damn short to waste it on non-essential activities. My regular cleaning fluids are VPI, RRL regular and Superwash and I have used Nitty Gritty's fluid. My favorite was Torumat which, I don't believe, is now available.

MintLP requires a three step process (four if you count wiping the record edge with a lint-free cloth). My initial impressions are quite positive. This may be the best I've ever used. Vinyl is very quiet and
dynamics seem to be improved. I need to spend more time with it on more records to confirm my observations are not simply the result of a placebo effect. The free sample only requires a $1 PayPal payment to cover postage from Hong Kong.

Worth a try.

In my previous post I'm referring to the MintLP record cleaning fluid.

Dre, patience....that's the missing ingredient. I'm screwed. Guess I'll have to stick with CDs. :)
