Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment

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 ?

Regards,

My templates are labeled UNI-IEC and IEC Baerwald. The former is Daniel's recalculation of the Baerwald geomtery, as I understand it.

Wrm57,
Thanks. Not sure what the UNI-IEC is... I am curious. I will have to dig further.

The Baerwald alignment using the UNI-Pro sounded better on the Graham than the Wally and better on the Universal than the MintLP. It also sounded better than the UNI-IEC alignment. At some point, I'll go back and realign again using all and recheck, but I was pretty careful the first time through the process, so for now I'll just enjoy the music.

Dear T_bone, dear Wrm57, let me add some technical parameters to the discussion.
The UNI-IEC features zero points at 116.39 and 67.44 mm radius (very close to what T_bone once named "Dert67" ... ;-) ...).
After radius approx. 117, this alignment has approx. 20 % less tracking distortion due to tangential error then Baerwald IEC and is very similar to Baerwald curve after radius 66 mm.
A very suitable alignment if most of the records played are made past 1982 and feature rather long wax/lead out groove.
UNI-DIN features zero points at 109.52 and 63.49 and is ideal suited for stereo records made in the early days with short lead out grooves/grooved area running close to the label.
Both alignments to pay attention to certain aspects of stereo stylus with decreasing radius and concentrate the focus of minimized tracking distortion on the last 2/3 of the groove.

The long awaited UNI-P2S will finally (sic ...) be introduced next week. It proofed much more tricky to integrate it's function with the UNI-Protractor, but finally I succeeded and will bring something rather unique in both - function and precision.
Cheers,
D.
