What does the P.A.S. offer compared to other set-up devices and tools?
With the P.A.S. the serious audiophile and professional user alike can perform the following set-ups – in unmatched precision, swift, easy:
* precise leveling of turntable, mounting / arm board and tonearm bearing.
* precise checking turntable actual speed – 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm – 50/60 hz.
* precisely determine and mark mounting distance P2S with 0.05 mm accuracy.
* true triangular 1-point-alignment for each and every tonearm past, present and future.
This includes also all tonearms with an odd geometry.
Tonearms NOT possible to align to any good results with any standard protractor.
Including tonearms like many vintage SAEC, Fidelity Research, Grace, Toho and many more, which do not follow Loefgren A / Baerwald nor Loefgren B nor Stevenson.
Special optimized templates are available for even the most odd tonearm.
* direct read-out of P2S while aligning the cartridge – an unique option and only possible with these instruments.
* magnifying alignment area by 20x and viewing via Laptop / PC.
* documenting with 20x magnification the quality and precision of cartridge alignment by photo-file.
* inspecting stylus condition and documenting it with 200x magnification.
* angle and distance length measurement for stylus in the smallest dimensions.
* adjustable 8 LED cold-light for alignment spot.
* direct overhang read-out for every tonearm.
* direct look-through azimuth template for cartridge and tonearm.
* precisely adjusting VTF with 0.01 mn (gram) accuracy
In addition:
* all precision tools for attending each and every small to miniature screw – metric and inch – Allen wrench, Philips and slotted head.
Thus making sure, that you won’t run into a situation with an unknown or foreign made tonearm where you can’t attend a needed setting.
