Feickert Adjust+ Tool

Hi All, this thread is a few months old and since then, M. Fremer has reviewed the software in the October issue of Stereophile (with its challenges, poor translation and all) with positive results. I have read in Stereophile most recent issue (Jan 09) that Dr. Feickert was also at RMAF demonstrating this new device in seminars.

Has anyone actually purchased and use Adjust+ since this thread was posted?
Is it easy to use (plug and play) and does it come with all the hardware (cable, test record etc...) or do you have to purchase those "other items" separately?
Any dealers in North America?
I live in Canada.

To my knowledge the product must be purchased through the website at this time. The Pro version is due to arrive here any day. Chris Feickert gave me a personal introduction to the software at RMAF.

By the time Fremer's review arrived in the mail, the translated manual had been rewritten.

Hello Smoffatt,

I purchased the Adjust+ software back in November, 2008, but didn't install it until a few days ago.

The software itself is extremely intuitive and easy to use. I think Michael Fremer's review of the software is very successful at describing what Adjust+ does, so maybe I find it easy to use because I was already familiar with its features and how to use it more or less.

There is certain computer and software requirement as with most software packages, so it could be plug-and-play based on computer/software configuration.

I'm using it on a MacBook Pro running XP on Parallels Desktop and Adjust+ works just find indeed. I purchased the Creative Soundblaster 5.1 Surround external USB soundcard along with the software, as well as the loopback cable for the calibration.

The software is as simple to use as a utility software. The only measurements I've cared about so far are azimuth and speed. The process for both measurements could not be more straightforward to me. So far, I'm very satisfied with what the software does and how it works. I was very happy to find out that my Dynavector XV1s cartridge just needs 0.2 degrees of tilt for correct azimuth.

There is no way to go back to traditional analogue methods for setting up azimuth and speed. The future of analogue is here today!

"The future of analogue is here today!"

So the future of analog is digital?

That is correct. The future of analog playback is digital setup. Finally digital being put to good use!
