BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors

Which is more accurate? Recently I decided to check my setup on a Scout using both the VPI gauge and a Baerwald protractor. Using the Baerwald the overhang is dead on in both locations, using the VPI the stylus misses the mark forward by about half a millimeter. Can this small amount of variance have a sonic impact? Has anyone else found this differene and what was your solution?

If I was as (informed) as you all on this subject, I'd be more interested in listening/vs/arguing.

@gillatgh,

I finally sent my Classic 3 Sig SE back this week to have the STP corrected. Using my Feickert protractor, the STP was off by 2mm. Haven’t listened to it in over 1 & 1/2 years. Sad.
As I suspected, apparently this issue varies for their different tables but is a wide ranging problem. BTW, in the last mm’s and closer...this is where all of the magic happens.

Good luck.
