Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor

Emailists - After listening to your Phantom as set up with the Graham jig, did the set-up with the Mint LP produce a significantly better sound or no significant difference? Thanks.

I understand that the lines are finer. But are they really so small that someone with normal (or normal corrected) vision will have a problem with them?

I have the Phantom and the Mint alignment guage did make quite a positive difference in sound as I am sure with the slightly better Wally alignment tool.

For me mainly in clarity and lack of distortion in the last 3rd of an LP.

The Phantom jig gets you 98% there, but that last 2% is pretty important IMO.

Jimjoyce my vision is good and I guess my vision would fall into the category of normal.
However attempting set up with the Mint arc protractor without the use of a magnifier of any kind and expecting and getting highly accurate results would be an incredible fluke.

The Graham Phantom jigs are exceptional and tower over many other tonearm manufactures supplied set up jigs.

"Careful" set up using this arc protractor from MintLp has a noteable repeatable improvement over the superb Graham jig.
Once you hear the results there is no going back.

Having used the Graham jig on friend's arms, I entirely agree with Downunder and Stiltskin's responses to Rgurney.

The Graham tool is wonderfully easy to use, far easier than the Turntablebasics clone that comes with a TriPlanar for example, but there is zero probability that anyone using either one could match the accuracy made possible by a protractor like the Mint.

We're talking about error reductions of SEVERAL orders of magnitude - it's not even remotely close.
