Essential Setup Tools

Inexpensive but invaluable, these little tools make a big difference to any setup. Easily, and often overlooked, the importance of correct alignment, and precision set up, of any HIFI equipment is essential. Our tools can be used with most systems but without them you'll never realise and release the full benefits of your equipment and your listening pleasure will ultimately be compromised.

Alignment Gauge

Alignment Gauge

The mirrored surface makes all measurements easier and more accurate. The mirror's parallax effect allows the elimination of sighting errors, and provides better lighting, critical in making fine adjustments on small parts. The two null points on the specific alignment tools are surrounded by parallel lines, making cartridge body alignment, both front and rear very precise and the long 'tail' alignment line is extended so that the stylus itself can be checked and aligned in case of cartridge manufacturing errors.

Whilst our Universal Alignment Gauge will be very accurate, the arm specific alignment gauges are 100% precise to the arm involved. Currently we have specific gauges for SME, Rega and Linn arms.

Level 45

Level 45

Any precision instrument needs careful installation and our precision level is essential for best results.
While other levels offer the ability to level a flat surface, most cannot level the platter correctly, especially in suspended designs.

Level 45 is manufactured in stainless steel, comes in two parts and offers a precision level and 45rpm adapter. Designed to be used either individually or together, so the level can fit over the centre spindle.

Total weight is approximately 180g so suspended turntables can be reliably set up so when the level is removed and the record is played the platter will be running level.
CANNOT BE USED IF THE SPINDLE EXCEEDS 15mm.
