Get the Mint LP Protractor. Specify that it is for the GT 2000. It's about as good as any out there and it is reasonably robust.Audiokarma friends I wouldn’t mind some tips on setting up the YSA-1 as it’s a new tonearm.
I have managed to attach my shelter 501 cart to the angled head. The counterweight & rear of the tonearm appears a bit different from the YA-39. Unfortunately I’m away for 10 days so all have a go at setting it up when I’m back.
Hope you all enjoyed the photos - the GT-2000X fit and finish is unbelievable...

It's almost 1 oclock in the morning here. He's probably sound asleep. I should be asleep also. I've got a few days off work so, I can catch up.Any updates Tim?

I am not too sure us Owners of the humble GT2000 will want to find out the differences with the mighty X version, LOL. I think we all hope it will be only subtle, but I think not
I feel turntable envy coming on very soon.
On a side note I almost picked up a Pioneer P3 from HiDo last week (I spotted it just as it was listed) but I couldn’t quite justify the price to myself. Suffice to say it didn’t last long.
I have the extreme good fortune to be getting some extensive time off from work. Due to excessive accumulation of untaken annual leave I was ordered by the HR department to take leave. Not just a bit of leave either. They wanted me to reduce a huge pile down to a small lump. I decided to take the whole lot of my accumulated leave in its entirety.Ah those pesky time zones...I think I noticed in another thread that you picked up a second YSA-1 headshell...some updates on your adventures with that would be welcome as well.

Thus in 35 days(who's counting *wink* ) I commence 4 months paid annual leave. That is the period during which I've decided to mount the Soundsmith Strain Gauge cartridge to the YSA-1 using the second YSA-1 headshell.

I like to take my time with most things I mount. There's no need to rush and I'd hate to be accused of premature incorporation. That really would strain the gauge.4 months to mount a cartridge...You must be very accurate.
