Dear @barbapapa : Overall Löfgren " A "/Baerwald and Löfgren " B " has lower distortion levels than the other alignment you mentioned. That alignment is not something " special ", it's only a manipulation of one of the input values in the alignment calculation formulas: the change was that instead to take either: IEC or DIN or JIS standards value for the most inner groove input it tooks 54 with no real overall improvement. As you, M.Fremer voted for Löfgren B too through his tests.
As I posted what any one of us need as a protractor is the MINT LP one, that's a dedicated protractor for the TT/tonearm we own. It's really accurated and for only 100.00-150.00.
IMHO no one needs more, is really useless stay trying any other protractor other than by curiosity. At the end what we music lovers want is listen MUSIC all the time and not testing 3-5 diferent kind of alignments. Again: useless.
Btw, @lewm posted: """ curve again and make a more definitive opinion. """.
You tested by 3 days and changed to Löfgren with the same LPs. IMHO you need no more. Your ears telling ( in this case ) what the numbers tell it too.
We can think that a short/brief time can't be enough and sometimes is true but when one person ( as you ) knows what to look for that times goes lower.
I don't need to many time to give my vote to Löfgren and Baerwald over Stevenson alignment: 2-3 hours can be more than enough. Why can I follow wasting more time? when what I want is to enjoy MUSIC. Makes no sense to me: makes sense to you?
Regards and enjoy the music,
