Is this a good leveling tool?

Hi,

I recently came accross this item, while reading on a forum.

http://srm-tech.co.uk/epages/4c008923-2265-416e-a207-cc9dd8b06028.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/4c008923-2265-416e-a207-cc9dd8b06028/Products/TSL1

I used my clearaudio level gauge to level my TT but I can't place the level gauge in the very center of the platter. This one can be placed on the very center. Is it helpful or is the presentation of it o the SRM-tech website just rubbish? Has anyone here used this item before?

Otherwise they have a clamp with a bubble level as well. Any feedback would be welcome.

I use a digital straight level in the manner ZD explained. The digital readout is a bit more accurate than a bubble.

Thanks for this last tip Viridian. Well, my platter is flat and has been designed to be leveled at any point but I'll keep your advice in mind, just in case :)

If you have a suspended table think twice about using an 8" level. It'll imbalance the suspension and give a mis-read.

Try these instead, in mirrored positions on the platter.
They are so light they won't affect the platter.

You can verify the product accuracy by reversing them through 180 degrees at the same location. Just ensure the platter surface is scrupulously clean.

Coincidently, I was looking at the subject of which level yesterday, on the Linn Forum site. The (jist of the)answer was to use a long level(maybe 8-inches or more)on the plinth, because wood has enough minor imperfections that make smaller levels inaccurate. Of course, there are a lot of other things involved in the setup of this turntable, so maybe those make the longer level more accurate for this turntable.
