Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor

Recommendations for Rega RB700 arm alignment/overhang adjustment protractor; Baerwald? Loefgren?, Rega?
other?

Protractor recommendations; Wallytractor, GeoDisc, Avid, Mint Best, Turn Table Basics, Rega supplied paper, other?

I have read elsewhere on this forum that due to the pivot point placement and length of the arm, the baerewald geometry is not useful on Rega tables.  If you have found this not to be the case, please add a note to this tread stating so.

Thank You
Brad

You can use  Baerwald to setup your Rega TT and arm. A lot of people opt for that as opposed to Rega's alignment procedure. If you need advice on what tools to get, call Larry at Hollywood Sound in Hollywood FL. All he does is TT's and can best asvise you on what to buy.

Thanks for your suggestions/help. I was hoping that you could use the Baerwald geometry for adjusting cartridge alignment/overhang on a Rega table,  without modification to the table or relocating the pivot point of the arm to table mounting.

I had a Rega P5, then P7, then P9.  I used the MintLP alignment tool.

Thanks miner42 for your input/info.
Did you happen to compare with any other brand protractor, where you found the Mint provided better performance. I don't see on there website any statement of what geometry there gauge incorporates; would you know?

Thanks again
Brad
