Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Al, I have a jig for setting up the Encounter. PM me your address and will send it.
Its nowt special just a Aluminium bar drilled for the spindle + 2x 5mm holes (one for the 9.5 & one for a 12" OL) A 5mm bolt goes through the hole and into a 23mm brass plug that sits in the arm hole in the arm board.
As has been stated above pivot to spindle distance is 222mm. Effective length (pivit to stylus) is 239mm, so 17mm overhang. Most generic protractors will match in with this, even the freebie from an 80s hifi mag you've probably get t stashed in a drawer somewhere.

Is basically the pivot to spindle beam and armboard plug to set the correct P to S distance.
No need to return it as I now have a Dr Feikert.
You will need a regular protractor for setting the cart.

I can now confirm the arm is now set up spot boll-k on , 2 Hours of arm off arm back in , tweek here tweek there its done .
I must extend thanks to MIKE Mikeyb for the very generous use of his Smartractor , Without this it would be imposible to get the arm / cart set to what I now see as 99.9% accurate , THANKS MIKE , your a dimond geezer
How does it sound now , Well its a long time since I have had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and have that tingly feeling down my spine , It now sound awesome ( Not a word I use often ) it's bloody amazing
I have Floyd wish you were her playing , Close my eyes and Gillmore is in the room up front playing lead guitar
The Bass rifts are amazing as is the keyboard playing
My OH my this blows all my previous attempat into the weeds , I though my Mike new 1210 was good but this is so many levels better
Bloody Hell
I have not had a smile this wide for a good few years
Oh lordy lord

Well that is great news, I am really pleased for you, so now you can stop playing with amps now and just plug in the best of your vast selection of speakers until you find the ones that work best.
Then sell all the others and possibly think about a super duper pair of speakers, now lets see, Wilson Benesch - Cardinal or Eminence, Rockport, top end Tannoys, or maybe Ocellia. Best check what weight your floor can take with some of those.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
