Moerch Tonearm Users... alignment question.


I'm trying out a DP6. Do I just trust the Moerch (non-precision armwand) alignment method of lining up the stylus tip with the leading edge? Or has anyone out there used a particular protractor successfully?

I use Feickert protractor for S2P, then MintLP. Don't think anything will be more precision than that. Getting the S2P of Moerch is very tricky.

Moerch method ?? No, I haven't tried it, and I can't see how it can be accurate. I used the Clearaudio protractor which is not so precision. The MintLP is arc protractor where you can zero in. But you need a very good eye sight. I always have a hard time using it. I'll be getting the Uni protractor in a near future.
Hi Dhcod,

When you get your MintLP, you can check how way off you are. The beauty of Mint is that arc start almost at the spindle and extend way beyond your platter. You won't need any special skill, just patience.

Hi Dhcod,

Glad you like it. Read the instruction regarding cleaning it with solution, as some members complain the coating turned gray over time.

Cheers,
