About the SMARTractor
The SMARTractor is a phono alignment protractor designed for serious audiophiles seeking utmost precision and ease in analog front-end alignment. It integrates five tangential alignment curves—Loefgren A/B in both IEC and DIN norms plus the UNI-DIN curve—into a single 3mm thick premium German XT mirrored acrylic template, matching the thickness of a 180g LP. It features no-error-possible single-point alignment with 3mm deep parallax for all helping lines, CNC laser-cut hairline alignment lines, and a real glass aluminum-frame magnifier with automatic focus for unrivaled precision during alignment. The tool includes an in-built direct mounting distance (pivot-to-spindle, P2S) measurement with 0.05mm accuracy, enabling precise tonearm positioning regardless of effective length or mounting position. The SMARTractor comes with three spindle adapters for a snug fit on various turntable spindles, enhancing accuracy by eliminating play. It is suitable for all pivot tonearms and offers a simplified, user-friendly operation compared to more complex professional tools, making it ideal for periodic home use.
