Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment

Ah, now I've got it Thuchan after seeing the pic (but the email is sent anyway :-)). I've missed that you use a different cart in the EMT shell. I thought you were aligning Tondose. Sorry for bothering
you&thanks for kind answers :-)

Best,

Dear Bydlo, the cart in the EMT shell is a modern EMT cartridge, a JSD 6 made by EMT Studiotechnik GmbH. As I like the Tondosen too, especially the new designs, this one is superior - maybe with the exception of the Lzi but this is carrying a SME shell.
You may align also Tondosen with the EMT gauge or the UNIprotactor.

I've been spending some time with my relatively new UNI-Pro this weekend, aligning an A90 on a Graham Phantom II and a Benz Ebony LO on a Clearaudio Universal arm. I also a have a Wally and MintLP for these arms, respectively. After some initial getting-used-to, the UNI-Pro is simpler and quicker to use and I prefer the results. Checking UNI-Pro Baerwald against the arc protractors, the alignments are not identical despite the fact that both arms (and their protractors) are based on Baerwald geometry. This discrepancy gave me some pause at first, since I've always relied on the arcs. However, I find the sound is notably better using the UNI-Pro. It's deeper, cleaner, more detailed, more relaxed. I'd conclude that means the alignments using the UNI-Pro are more correct. I should add that I prefer the Baerwald template to the UNI-IEC template. It just sounds better to me. Nice job, Daniel!

Wrm57,
Which UNI-IEC template did you try? And was the Baerwald template IEC or DIN? (or other?)

Wrm 57, There is this German saying: 'If theory and practice coincide then they are probable both false'. However in theory there should be no difference between the
Mint Lp and the UNI-pro in your case. So, I assume, you like Dertonarm more then Yip ?
