Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions

Smoffatt, Will do.

I think with being caught up with the excitement of some new equipment that recently arrived ,I felt that I should have another protractor as a 2nd reference, just to be sure.

As it stands , the Graham jigs are exceptional, including the Feikert protractor.
Both use a design method of detentes where the Feikert locks into a disk template that sits on the platter like an Lp.

The Graham jig detentes are in the head shell.
Another huge advantage with the Graham cartridge jig is that you can unscrew the arm tube and hold it in any position you need to, to get the job done.

As mentioned above regarding arc protractors, Ken Willis is said to make an exceptional protractor for $50.00.

From there, the Wally and MintLp tractor.

I'm sure there are other highly accurate and easy to use tractors available that may equal the ones mentioned.

For any ones interest, this post to date is approaching 3000 views.

If anyone has a question regarding set up of your own table, arm and cartridge, DO ASK.

It DOES NOT matter what you own.

Fear not.

There is a long list of highly experienced members here with friendly advice and guidance.

I haven't yet ordered the protractor yet. I'm just not convinced I need it. I did order a sample of their record cleaner. Below is an initial review I posted on Vinyl Asylum.

I ordered the free sample offered at the website. I normally avoid multi-step cleaning processes because life is to damn short to waste it on non-essential activities. My regular cleaning fluids are VPI, RRL regular and Superwash and I have used Nitty Gritty's fluid. My favorite was Torumat which, I don't believe, is now available.

MintLP requires a three step process (four if you count wiping the record edge with a lint-free cloth). My initial impressions are quite positive. This may be the best I've ever used. Vinyl is very quiet and
dynamics seem to be improved. I need to spend more time with it on more records to confirm my observations are not simply the result of a placebo effect. The free sample only requires a $1 PayPal payment to cover postage from Hong Kong.

Worth a try.

In my previous post I'm referring to the MintLP record cleaning fluid.

The Feickert is a useful tool, DaVinci Audio delivers this Protractor with its Grandezza Arms.
But there is something REALLY interesting available from him, an Adjustment Record, it is called Adjust Plus.
Put the record on the turntable, start it and with the Adjust Plus Software (packed with the record) you can connect it to a Laptop to check all kind of Settings.
Azimuth, VTA etc. while playing! That is something amazing. It was developed with a Software Specialist.
For the discriminated Audiophile a must.

Hi Thomas, I remembered early on in this thread someone made a brief mention of the Adjust Plus software from Feikert.
Not until you mentioned it, I went back into the thread and saw it was Emailists, however he did not elaborate on the software at all.

Well the Adjust Plus is interesting.
Thomas have you used it?

Narrod, on a good day cleaning records isn't much fun.
Myself ,I can only handle 15 to 20 at one sitting, It's up there with watching paint dry.

However ,once they are cleaned you get a lot of mileage out of them before you have to do it again.

Each to his own, however this might change your mind and for anyone alse that maybe interested.

Member Rushton, Doug Deacon and myself have a couple of things to say about active enzyme base cleaners for your Lps.
