Hudson Hi-Fi Mirrored Turntable Cartridge Stylus Alignment Protractor Tool - Stevenson Alignment for 1/2" Cartridges & S-Shaped Tonearms (VTA Sold Separately)

Hudson Hi-Fi mirrored alignment protractor using Stevenson geometry, made for standard 1/2 inch mount cartridges and S-shaped tonearms, with the alignment instructions printed on the tool itself.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Mirrored surface makes it easier to see the cartridge body, stylus and grid lines while you adjust
  • + Stevenson alignment is named in the title, so you know which geometry you are setting up
  • + Instructions are printed directly on the protractor, so there is no separate sheet to lose

Trade-offs

  • - Built around Stevenson geometry only, so Baerwald or Lofgren users need a different protractor
  • - The VTA tool is sold separately, so this covers cartridge and stylus alignment only
