Mayrecords Turntable Phonograph LP Phono Cartridge Stylus Alignment Protractor Adjustment Tool with Cleaning Cloth - Mirrored Surface for Precision

Mayrecords acrylic cartridge alignment protractor with a mirrored surface, about 6.18 x 1.38 inches, sold with a lint-free cleaning cloth. A low-cost tool for lining up a newly mounted cartridge.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Mirrored surface, stated in the title, helps you sight the stylus against the printed alignment marks
  • + Acrylic body with clear printing, roughly 157 x 35 mm, small enough to keep in a record care box
  • + A soft, lint-free cleaning cloth is included in the package along with the protractor

Trade-offs

  • - The listing does not say which alignment geometry (Baerwald, Stevenson or Lofgren) the grid uses
  • - Single acrylic strip with no azimuth ruler or stylus force gauge, so it handles one setup step only
