Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment

Dear T_bone: I'm confuse about your numbers.

In this link there is the calculations with graphics for 245mm EL:

www.vinylengine.com/tonearm_alignment_calculator.php?mv=&l=e&ev=245&i=i&c1=60.325&o=i&c2=&cal=1&submit=calculate

and don't shows your numbers. What am I missing here? before I go for your other numbers.

Could you guide me through VE calculator? which the link?, thank you.

Regards and enjoy the music,
raul.

Or the links for your calculations if are different from the VE tools.

Thank you again.

Raul.

Dear T_bone: Re-reading your post I found out those offset angles: 20.325/20.574 that I don't take in count ( I use the ones that gives the " natural " calculations, not forced ones. ) due that I use the VE calculator instead the comparator tool.

But I'm still missing something because this link calculations/graphics don't shows your numbers even that the input data comes from your post:

www.vinylengine.com/tonearm_alignment_comparator.php?m_el=246&m_oh=14.5&m_oa=20.325&compare=i&submit=calculate

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

2) I simply did this to put a stop to the months of questioning. The exercise took me all of 10mins to do (given a pre-existing spreadsheet), far less time than has been spent on questioning whether the numbers come out this way....

Kudos T_Bone

Excellent work T-Bone, you are not just an expert on all that is good with vintage Japanese hifi.

Not sure I fully understand the maths, however you look to have proved that from your assumptions, Dert's numbers do provide a better mousetrap technically.

I am sure Dert will say how close you are.

BTW, might be a stupid question, but how do you accurately change/measure the offset for the headshell of any given alignment?

Looks like our resident expert has someone else to argue with - you :-)
