Wally Malewicz's legacy lives on...Wallytractor

Good news...WAM Engineering now making a universal version of the Wallytractor. It has the novel feature of accounting for inner groove diameter variations between older and new records, as stated on their site. Cost is $395, which seems competitive between the Mint LP and Smartractor, considering the feature set. Looking forward to the release of other products.

Back when Wally was around, if you bought his stuff instead of others you could at least tell yourself you were supporting him. Now that he's gone so is that one. I can see people wanting to cash in, but come on, a VTA gauge? Hard to see that as anything other than preying on the vulnerable.

These are the “tools” that Wally had designed and were in his “kit” that some audiophiles acquired.  Many are seen on Femer’s setup DVD.  I believe this endeavor, if you read the website, is a partnership with Wally’s son so not sure anyone is cashing in inappropriately IMO.

And for ONLY $350 it will provide EXACTLY the same results as the $20 turntablebasics.com protractor when both are used correctly.  I can hardly wait to order one!
