Hi Rob,
The dynavector is smaller than typical, which is why it wouldn't work with the 222mm mounting length.
I've been reading alot of the threads in the archives and the FAQ. I'm not really a math person, so much of the discussion goes beyond me, but from what I gather, the clearaudio alignment tool, while perhaps optimized for 222, seems reasonably safe to use with tonearms that can be mounted from I think it was 210mm to 224mm distance.
I didn't use a 2point protractor because the only one I have is the one that I downloaded from enjoythemusic, and given that I had to make the spindle hole, and worry about proper printer scaling and such, I thought I was better off with the clearaudio.
At some point perhaps I will get better alignment tools, but I know that when I can, I will be upgrading certainly the arm, but probably the table, too -- so I will make due with the clearaudio until I have settled down with my long-term choice for turntable. The horizon/250 combo is awesome and I am totally happy with it at the price I got it, but I'll want to move up to a Spacedeck (or a Hyperspace if at all possible)and then I will invest in the tools necessary to have it nailed down on setup.
This has been a very interesting experience and I again thank you for your help. I finally got to spin some vinyl last night and it sounded quite good. I didn't hear the buzzing that I was getting from certain high piano notes before I began playing with the overhang. Though I haven't played through very many LPs just yet. I need to get a loupe so that I can better see and align the stylus, but I think I eyeballed it pretty close.
Now you'll forgive me if I admit that I am a former New Yorker and still a Yankee fan (though I do now also root for the Mariners). I do congratulate the Red Sox for finally winning the series. And with perhaps a few sour grapes lodged in mouth allow me to say that the one great thing about the red sox finally winning is that now, the team with the second highest payroll in baseball can stop acting like the "blue collar working man" team that keeps getting beaten by the unfairly wealthy team. Sort of like Paul Allen complaining that Bill Gates keeps outbidding him at the auction.
But seriously, I went to college outside of Boston (was there in 1986!) and I can imagine just how excited the area is.
regards,
rick
