In Reply to: RE: "Same table, same arm"??? ... posted by andyr on April 13, 2014 at 13:36:04
So, when I bought a $150 miracle protractor (and joined Ferd's mullet club) I wasn't informed that it would be useless with many cartridges.
Since Wally didn't supply a list of cartridges which would work with my Rega specific WallyTractor, maybe you could?

but I suspect you won't countenance any of the options. :-)) :
1. buy a different arm.2. buy a cart which has a longer bolt-hole-to-stylus distance than your current cart.
3. move your arm towards the spindle 1/8" (if the cart is jammed up against the outer end of the headshell slots). This will mean you have to make a slight elongation in the hole in the plinth/armboard which the arm pillar goes through.
4. use an alignment which is suggested by the late, great Allen Wright (Vacuum State) - the 'Guru' method - which you can get on the VSE web-site. This places the stylus back towards the pillar by about 0.8mm, from the main arc.
I have a Wallytractor for my Graham 2.2, BTW. Works perfectly because my G2.2 is mounted at a distance that puts the cart bolts in approx. the middle of the headshell slots (for my Grado and for my Benz, anyway).
It's a great device.

You forgot the easiest solution. Simply align the cartridge in accordance with Rega alignment geometry. Remember KISS.
