Stupid is as stupid does...

Using a STANDARD Baerwald protractor (or the Technics tool), my cart is square in the headshell and perfectly aligned... See?

Although... Aligning the line on the Geo-Disc with the tonearm's pivot point as directed... The needle lands a country mile from the point the Geo-Disc says is "correct".

The Geo-Disc is absolutely worthless for getting a proper Baerwald alignment on the Technics!!! The other protractor in question shares a similar design.

So who looks stupid? Mr. Baerwald? The designers of the Technics turntable or alignment tool? Me?... It's you... for believing everything you read and taking the claims made by manufacturers about products as facts... and then acting like a rude, know-it-all about it in addition.
