Wally Wally Wally

Anyone else get the latest Wally tools? Likes or dislikes? Not asking for opinion on purchase of said items, only your experiences; both, good and bad.


I just went wild Wally Tool crazy and ordered everything. Long story short, I will be accumulating at least two more turntables in the next 6 months, and wanted to have another set of eyes to spot check my current methods of installing and measuring cartridges performance; ears, SME protractor, test records, Fozgometer, Schon Schablonne (German protractor), and glass protractor by Avid. 
It’s a means to an end as I want quick, verifiable, and repeatable measurements due to the amount of tonearm and cartridges swapping that will be occurring. It’s a means to an end which supports my listening studio.


I have, like many others, used my ears and standard measurement tools over many years and it’s pretty cut and dry. I figured what the heck, why not indulge in tools that support the hobby, and can be used to help others while also giving me some peace of mind.

Yes, the original Wallytractors were gamechangers back when they first came out. I guess in this hobby, one can never have too much alignment tools.

Interesting phrase, support the hobby. Have heard something like that used before. Never in connection with Ted Denney. Pretty folksy name, Ted. You'd think he'd get some love. Or Peter. If ever there was a hobbyist could use support.... What magic spell has Wally to get anyone thinking he's any different than the rest?

You clearly like checking imperfection.

@millercarbon,

“What magic spell has Wally to get anyone thinking he's any different than the rest?”

Not sure...I don’t feel like I am under  any delusional voodoo spell to obtain such things from Wally. I just want them, period. I will leave it up to others to speculate and hypothesize as to why Wally is different from the rest. I just want to experiment and play around with new alignment tools which supports my own curiosity. If you have any experiences with Wally tools, then speak up...otherwise, ramblings about why Wally is any different than other alignment tools are useless.
