Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances – Reference Mastercuts 200g Vinyl £45.00

Acoustical Systems The SMARTractor Phono Alignment Tool

£475.00

For the serious audiophile who is interested in aligning – if only periodically -their analogue front-end to the utmost precision does look for precision which comes handy and which is easy to operate.

To answer this request we have designed the SMARTractor – a direct off-spring of our UNI-Protractor.

The SMARTractor brings the same unparalleled precise tangential alignment for which the UNI-Protractor earned it’s laurels – PLUS the 0.05mm precise mounting distance measurement of the UNI-P2S.

Description

Acoustical Systems The SMARTractor Phono Alignment Tool

  • The SMARTractor comes with 5 (five) tangential curves combined in 1 (one) template.
  • the SMARTractor’s template is made from 3mm (= same thickness as 180 gr LP) strong premium grade german XT mirrored acrylic supplied by Evonik.
  • no-error-possible single-point alignment with 3mm deep parallax (for ALL helping lines) – an extreme precise, easy and fast alignment.
  • super easy to use with 1-point fixed setting for every tangential curve.
  • all alignment lines are cnc-laser cut hairlines.
  • incorporates real glass aluminum-frame magnifier with automatic focus jig for unrivaled precise magnified view during alignment.
  • all 5 tangential alignments are based on true triangular positioning and thus are independent of effective length and thus suitable for ALL pivot tonearms, no matter what their effective length or mounting position.
  • The SMARTractor further comes with in-built direct mounting distance – P2S -measurement with 0.05mm accuracy.

The total of 5 tangential options of course includes the old audio phono standards set by Loefgren and Baerwald in the late 1930s and 1940s in both – IEC and DIN – norms.

* Loefgren A / Baerwald DIN

* Loefgren A / Baerwald IEC

* Loefgren B DIN

* Loefgren B IEC

and: …..

Furthermore the SMARTractor features the critically acclaimed UNI-DIN tangential curve.

An all new tangential curve which is the latest calculation and the first one which does really take into account the special requirements and circumstances of a stereo stylus tracking a non linear stereo groove with increasing differences between the two groove walls.

The result? – real sonic benefits!

In the last 2/3 of the record’s groove, the UNI-DIN curve offers significant (18-45%) less average – as well as less total! – distortion than Baerwald or Loefgren.

Sonically this gives you less stress on human (female) voices, more subtle details, less “grain”, increased “air” and considerable more “headroom” in critical passages and especially so in climaxes.

Rest assured – you’ll love it, once you’ve heard it’s direct results and merits.

Please note:

The UNI-DIN tangential alignment is available only in the SMARTractor and the UNI-Protractor.

Now – why 5 different options for alignment of cartridge/tonearm?

The vast number of tonearms introduced in the past 40 years not only displays a large number of different concepts, but also a considerable diversity in geometries.

Furthermore it makes a significant difference whether the record we want to track with best possible results is a modern pressing with a very long run-out/lead-out (‘unmodulated groove’ or ‘dead wax’), or whether the record’s groove is cut close to the paper inner label.

The later is often found with countless records made in the early stereo years from 1958 up till 1974.

The SMARTractor takes into account the diversity of geometries found in pivot tonearms – as well as the different situations in records past and present.

The SMARTractor offers the best possible tangential curve for every request.

For every pivot tonearm – as well as for every record collection.

And it makes sure that the serious audiophile gets the most perfect, utmost precise alignment possible.

Even more important, this ultra precise result is achieved swift, with ease and free of any possible error.

No in-deep knowledge nor any special manual skills are required.

Setting up your analog front-end with unparalleled precision – and with the BEST SONIC results obtainable – is only a matter of a few minutes when using theSMARTractor.

Shipping & Delivery

UK, EUROPE & WORLDWIDE DELIVERY

Our delivery charges are based on weight and are charged at royal mail rates. Once you have added an item into your basket the shipping charge should appear based on the weight of your order, initially the charge is shown from a UK resident but after you enter your personal details the shipping for your country will appear. We deliver to any country in the world, anywhere with a valid address, typical delivery times are between 3 and 7 days.

We will use the most appropriate carrier for your order, anything lost in transit will be replaced in a timely manner, all orders are sent using recognised postal carriers and couriers.

On heavy and bulky items the charges can be quite high so please enquire via e-mail or telephone us for an exact cost to avoid mis-understandings.

Delivery times are based on current workloads, we try to dispatch in stock orders within 3 days of receipt, if your order is urgent please add a note in the order comments box. Occasionally we may run out of stock of an item or if it is built to order (power supply’s, mains leads etc) it could take slightly longer to dispatch.

Shipping charges start at £1.95 for small items like plugs and connectors, heavy items cost more and need to be sent insured delivery so please consider that when the cost appears in your basket.

Any questions about postage or delivery please tel. 01484 540561 or send us an e-mail

All items on the site (except those made to order) can be returned under the consumer contracts regulations within 30 days. Please contact us prior to returning so we can discuss your requirements. If the item has been specially ordered (not specially made) we reserve the right to charge a nominal re-stocking fee. We expect any goods returned to be in new condition complete with original packaging otherwise we reserve the right to refuse a refund. Items classed as “tailor made” cannot be returned under the regulations although Brook Audio may accept the return under certain circumstances.

Please note if you order goods from Brook Audio and live outside the EU you may have to pay import duty/taxes on your purchase. We have no control over this charge and we do not pre-pay the charges for you. We do not declare a lower value to avoid customs charges so PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO DO THIS.

We get asked 100’s of times every week for tracking numbers, these are usually a waste of time as they only tell you that the goods are progressing through the carriers system. Usually for items sent overseas the country you live in will determine how quickly your goods arrive, as an example the Spanish postal service is very very slow, the Russian customs clearance can take weeks as well as Brazil.
