Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor

You can use  Baerwald to setup your Rega TT and arm. A lot of people opt for that as opposed to Rega's alignment procedure. If you need advice on what tools to get, call Larry at Hollywood Sound in Hollywood FL. All he does is TT's and can best asvise you on what to buy.

Thanks for your suggestions/help. I was hoping that you could use the Baerwald geometry for adjusting cartridge alignment/overhang on a Rega table,  without modification to the table or relocating the pivot point of the arm to table mounting.

I had a Rega P5, then P7, then P9.  I used the MintLP alignment tool.

Thanks miner42 for your input/info.
Did you happen to compare with any other brand protractor, where you found the Mint provided better performance. I don't see on there website any statement of what geometry there gauge incorporates; would you know?

Thanks again
Brad

+1 for the Mint Protractor - especially if you are using a stylus profile that is not spherical

Paid for itself right off the bat - my cartridge has never sounded so good

You do have to get the setup perfect though, but once you have achieved that the improvements are very noticeable.

My Cartridge is a Soundsmith modified Denon DL-103 with...

• Ruby Cantilever
• Optimized Contour Nude Contact Line Diamond

My arm is an Audiomods Series 3 Original that uses the Rega Arm tube
- same geometry, overhang etc, but that's where the "similarity" to rega arms end.

Once setup correctly using the Mint this cartridge became extremely revealing, detailed, spacious and dynamic
