  Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
I'm contemplating the purchase of this brand of protractor.

Over the years I have relied on a good friend to mount cartridges and set up the few tables that I have owned in the past.
Relying on someone else to do this was for good reason.

I would never make it as a watch maker or any other profession that requires a fine touch and skill with steady hands.
The time has come where I will have to do this totally on my own.

My question to you owners of the Feickert protractor is what is your experience with it regarding ease of use and accuracy compared to other protractors?

Secondly, the disk has strobe markings for speed set up, does the Feickert package come with a strobe light for the $250. selling price?

I asked these question of a dealer sent via a e-mail and have not received a reply as of yet.

Thank you for your replies.

The Feickert is a useful tool, DaVinci Audio delivers this Protractor with its Grandezza Arms.
But there is something REALLY interesting available from him, an Adjustment Record, it is called Adjust Plus.
Put the record on the turntable, start it and with the Adjust Plus Software (packed with the record) you can connect it to a Laptop to check all kind of Settings.
Azimuth, VTA etc. while playing! That is something amazing. It was developed with a Software Specialist.
For the discriminated Audiophile a must.
