Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help!

Dear @coachpoconnor : Two of them are: the MINTLP and the Feickert.

The first one is a dedicated protractor for your tonearm/cartridge in specific and the other is universal.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I like the idea of the MINTLP, but none of this stuff is cheap.
I saw a video with Michael Fremer and he had a protractor with the various arcs on the protractor. Does anyone no the name of It?

Dear @coachpoconnor : Well the MINTLP is lower than 130.00 and you can ask for the Baerwald alignment. You don't have to look for other because are out of your budget if the MINTLP you consider it a little pricey.

rauliruegras you have to be kidding. The only error in the recording would be if the TT speed were set incorrectly. The only thing you care about is the actual resonance frequencies which is what you are measuring. This also gives you the ability to adjust if you have to by adding or subtracting mass. All that other stuff as far as the real world matters is unnecessary complexity and difficult for us normal folks to understand. Watching a tonearm vibrating is easy and sort of fun.
There are many inexpensive alignment protractors out there. You can actually make one your self. Get to it rauliruegras. Give you something creative to do. 

Dear @mijostyn : The LP recordings are full of inaccuracies that affects what we are trying to " read ", same for music or test tones or the like and perfect speed in TT does not exist.

Vinyl Engine calculator is the best to go. In the other side the MINTLP is a very good and inexpensive protractor why any one could wants ( as you. ) to " invent " the " black thread " when already exist, makes no sense your proposition.

Anyway, why to big deal for you. ?. Please just forgeret about, this is not " rocket science ".
