> I look forward to cartridge alignment about as much as I do extensive dental work.

I know what you mean. Nobody looks forward to cartridge alignment. The best part about it is getting it right because once set, it lasts until you change the cartridge. I believe the fastest and easiest way to make sure you get it right is with an arc protractor. Although, I prefer a non-mirrored arc protractor.

With regard to Rega tonearms, they can be aligned to Löfgren "A" with any cartridge if you mount the tonearm at a distance of 219.5-mm from the spindle rather than 221.7-mm (or 222-mm). Of course, you would need an arc protractor designed for a mounting distance 219.5-mm, too. Wally used to make them.

Best regards,
John Elison
