Hello HDM,
With the MintLP not only you have the best template possible but you also can discover the perfect distance between platter spindle and tonearm pivot - perfect center.
For example I discovered only few turntables fitted for Rega Arms are really perfectly drilled.
Well , I have the Michell Tecnoarm .. Hdm just a fantastic arm if you have a MintLP
Fortunately since I own a TW Acoustic Raven One I had to rotate the arm base to search the super-perfect-distance just to have the stylus in the middle of the thin hair from the beginning to the end of the arc , close to the spindle.
Whatta difference from a pre-drilled turntable!!
It's really almost impossible to drill the Rega hole with the perfection of 1/10° millimeter!!!
And I had to rotate the arm base just about that 1/10 to reach the perfection... but when I listened the first time it was astonishing compared to the normal pivot-spindle suggested 222mm.!
In fact with this suggested Rega distance you can't have the stylus just in the middle of the thin MintLP hair for the whole arc .. easily in the center arc you have the stylus on the border (edge)
And all this is thank to the MintLP and its perfection!
Thanks Saint Yip .. Analogue protector! :-)
My cent!
