I just got my AccuTrak protractors today.
These are really neat. They are made of a vinyl type material and made specifically for your turntable! Ken Willis does amazing work.
They are Arc protractors which I've never used before, but learned in my crash course on them that they will make TT set up faster and easier for me.
They have a special top coat, like a thin lexan material (might even be lexan) that allows you to place the stylus directly on the protractor to glide it along the arc without worrying about doing harm. The protractors also have all the choices of null point philosophies on them and some will even have proprietary null point philosophies as well depending on the table.
Now I can set up my Pioneer PL510A again and check my Denon(even though there seems to be no issues, it's still good to check., especially for me who needs more experience in TT set up). These are much more accurate than the way I was doing it.
In my opinion, these are well worth the $50, much more than the DB protractor.
