Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment


Looks like Dertonarm has put his money where his mouth is and designed the ultimate universal alignment tractor.

Early days, It would be great to hear from someone who has used it and compared to Mint, Feikert etc.

Given its high price, it will need to justify its superiority against all others. It does look in another league compared to those other alignemt devices

Dear Dertonarm: +++++ " Löfgren tried to minimize distortion over as large an area of the record as possible. He did so at the expense of the last and most critical inch of the groove, where the distortion level of his calculation sky rocket. "

this is a misunderstood, that's why exists Löfgren A and B where the highest diustortion at the last inner groove is different been lower on the Löfgren A solution.
So we have choices here at Löfgren's " house ".

Dear Dertonarm: Please makes things easy with out all useless bla-bla that means nothing and proves nothing.

Show/bring here the set up parameters for any of those especial tonearm geometry ( other than FR that you proved was a disater with your parameters. ) designs and then with those numbers we in this open forum and in front of all of us we can make the calculations a see if in reality exist significant ( that we can detect. ) lower distortions not only at inner groove but over the whole LP recorded area.

Facts are the ones that has the " last word ".

Dear Raul, you said
Dertonarm, everyone is asking here for your precise answers about especially those " special " set up with some specific tonearms.
. Sorry, - you are the only one who asks.
All others have long understood the context.
Cheers,
D.
Dear Raul, maybe you should read Löfgren's own papers in the original language they were written - in german. It help's understanding the matter.
Löfgren A is today more commonly named Baerwald.
Sorry, but Löfgren himself in his later comments ( in german again ...) to his own papers put together the characteristics of his calculation exactly as I described it earlier.
But maybe Löfgren was wrong about his own idea and you know certainly better.
Löfgren A spreads the two zeros further apart - Löfgren B puts them closer together.
Results in lower average but higher maximum distortions in Löfgren B and vice versa with Löfgren A/ Baerwald.
It is still about mono and not about microgroove and not about stereo.
Stevenson knew why he did went in other directions - he did so over 25 years later and with 8 years stereo available to the customer.
Nice to learn you do not hear any distortions - but that leaves a lot of possible explanations.
Cheers,
D.

If you decide not to bring those numbers then we could think that you are trying to deceive us either because your ignorance level on the subject or in porpose. In the first case that you are doing in an " inconsciente " way and no harm at all we can't say the same if is on porpose.
