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 Nandric: I don't have yet the right and precise answers to:
+++++ " our capability to ignore the noise " ++++

but a priori IMHO I think it is a phsycoacoustic subject and the enormous capacity that our brain has to adapt over time to " continuos " stimulations " like LP sound and its enormous capacity for " discriminaty " what we want to discriminate.

In the other side IMHO we music loverĀ“s always enjoy music it does not matters the source quality level.

In other thread I posted that I'm preparing the information for a new thread with may " new " experiences on a very interesting subject that by coincidence one way or the other take in count this noise subject you are talking about. I hope to post that thread next week.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
I think we all want to learn from your findings about noise.
But the rest of us who were using tubes (& LOMC) we are in a deeper hole.
Dear Geoch: The thread's subject is not mainly focused on that kind of noise " that mantain you on that deeper hole " but something more related to improve that " hole ", each one system " hole ".

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
Dear Nandric, it was a really sad and dramatic end for Klaus Renner. And yes - since DAS OHR was literally his "baby", there was no way it outlasted it's father and founder. It was one of the very few magazines ever totally independent from advertising and self-financed.
I started with high-end in the late 1970ies when I was 16.
My first speakers were K + H studio broadcast monitor speakers (type OM I think ) with built-in V69a Telefunken tube-amplifiers bought used from Bavarian broadcast service in Munich.
My first encounter with serious turntables were Micro Seiki RX-5000, Mitch Cotter B and Platine Verdier serial # 1.
And my first "real" tonearm ...... FR-64s...;-) ..... a good friend since 1980.
Nice memories of days gone by.
Cheers,
D.
my first impression with the Uni-Protractor is: very well built quality, the magnifying glass is just great. Very precise alignment is possible. Now I need to test the 8 different tonearm specific inlays, will report... and discover new possibilities maybe...
