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 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.
Dear Dertonarm: Please makes things easy with out all useless " words-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 dissater with your parameters, even Stevenson was better. ) designs and then with those numbers we in this open forum and in front of all of us we can make the calculations and see if in reality exist significant ( if any ) lower distortions not only at inner groove but over the whole LP recorded area.

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

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.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Thou shall useth Lofgren and have no other geometries before thee.

Book of Raul
Chapter 1
Verse 1
Dear Dertonarm: +++++ " 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. " +++++

this proves that you are totally wrong again. Dertonarm you are " catched " in your own trick/trap that have no single " window or door " to come out.

In the example of that tonearm with 258mm on effective length Löfgren A at the last one inner groove has 0.809% against higher Stevenson figure that is: 0.962%. Even that you states that because Löfgren/Baerwald times were not the stereo ones and they don't take in count but you know that in those times as today: 2+2 is still 4, stereo or not microgroove or not.

Goech asks the same not only me and if you want I can show you here other Agoner's asking the same.

Read my last ( before this ) post, your call.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
