Thanks for taking the time with your reply, Tom.
Do you think the special Ortofon SPU alignment template is a good thing to have or is the standard Stevenson one I have okay?
I've always struggled aligning the SPU with the template due to it's curved sides, so a best guess and most importantly 'time' has always been the ticket.
So, lets say I stick the 3009 arm, do you recommend the Dr. Feickert protractor for that?
Trying to get the alignment of the 3009 has always been a bit hit and miss for me. I could do with getting it nailed.
There are plenty out there who have decided that the 3009 on the TD124 is simply not good enough but once set up it's a great sounding arm. IGD is sometimes (but not always) a problem hence why I could do with finally nailing the solution.
This may lead to getting a more adaptive armboard such as the one from audioclassique (

Good idea?
