Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor

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

+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

+2 for the mint/Best protracter.

If you're using a spherical stylus, you only have to get the overhang correct. There really is no VTA/SRA with conical stylii.
