That's an incoherent response, with so many inaccuracies I hardly know where to start.

But I'll have a go.....

Firstly, the person who hasn't informed himself here is you, not John Elison.

Secondly, the turntable basics protractor does not "assumed (sic) the null points are in the proper place when the line is aimed at the tonearm's pivot point"

The null points are the groove radii at which the tracking error becomes zero.

The protractor has grids, the centres of which are located at certain radii. So whether the line is pointing in the direction of the tonearm pivot or not makes no difference, the cartridge will be set-up to produce null points at the same radii as those of the grids on the protractor when the cartridge can be aligned on both grids.

Thirdly, the turntable basics protractor is a so-called Baerwald protractor, because the grids are located at radii of 66.0 mm and 120.9 mm.

Fourthly, your rhetorical questions about Technics are ill informed, because the Technics tonearm does is not designed to produce null radii at 66.0mm and 120.9mm when the cartridge is squared up in the headshell.

Fifthly, if you think you have managed to align the cartridge on your turntable so that the cartridge is squared up in the headshell, and simultaneously so that the null radii are at 66.0 mm and 120.9 mm, then you obviously don't know what you are doing.

Sixthly, based on point 5 above, any further 'advice' from royalphil345 on turntable set-up should be ignored.

Best regards,

BK
