Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor

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.

I understand that the Mint LP uses the Stevenson null points and neither the Baerwald or Lofgren points. Doug/Emailists - could this account for the improvements?
Thanks.

The trick to seeing the small (thin) lines is to use the Lupe Yip suggest, the 4X lighted magnifier he includes, following his direction, photos, and online tips, and keeping your head BACK enough for the magnifying glass to focus. I always find my head creeping in closer to get a better focus, but it’s heads BACK. BACK. IMHO.

The results prove its worth!

Rgurney, I believe Yip will make a protractor with either but it may depend on the tonearm. However, you should ask him directly so you get the facts, and nothing but the facts. ;-)

Seriously, he responds pretty fast to emails.
