ART9/VPI Classic here.
The Mint is purportedly one of the nicer jigs. I have terrible eyesight. Buy a jewelers loupe.
The ART9 is pretty simple to setup. Between the VPI jig and a Feikert, I don't have good enough hearing to hear a difference in all those different alignments. I use Baerwald, and I'm done. Eyeball/ear the rest. Put a good record on=world peace.
Final OCD adjustment is done by your ears. I don't have a Foz meter, but I plug the table into a 10 year old Foz phono stage. I've read conflicting reports on the effectiveness of the Fozgometer. Regardless, I've been able to dial the ART 9 in without fuss.
