WallyReference Combo Kit

SRA/VTA Measurement Device

  • The only tool that allows simple, quick and repeatable confirmation that the top surface of your cartridge is perfectly level in BOTH horizontal axes – front/back (SRA/VTA) & left/right (azimuth)

  • Changing tonearm height changes not only Stylus Rake Angle (SRA) but in many tonearms models also changes azimuth angle. WallyReference allows you to compensate for the effect.

  • On most tonearms, changing azimuth also changes SRA. WallyReference allows you to compensate for this and keep SRA/VTA constant.

  • An essential tool for finding the ideal SRA/VTA for your specific cartridge

  • Quickly and easily move your cartridge to other tonearms with the same ideal SRA/VTA and azimuth angles - No need for a second turntable or tonearm when you can setup all cartridge/tonearm parameters in 15-20 minutes

  • Includes personalized support from WAM Engineering

WHY DOES THE WALLYREFERENCE HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT BLADES?

Each of the five blades has a different function

  1. One Dual Axis Blade – A level headshell requires TWO axes to confirm a plane level to the record surface

  2. Two blades for tonearms with indirect azimuth mechanisms – If your tonearm has a straight armwand it is almost certainly an Indirect Azimuth tonearm.

    1. SRA/VTA Blade displays headshell angle on front/back axis independently of any tilt on the left/right (azimuth) axis.

    2. Azimuth Blade displays headshell angle on left/right axis independently of any tilt on the front/back (SRA/VTA) axis.

  3. Two blades for tonearms with true azimuth mechanisms – If your tonearm has a curved or angled armwand it is a True Azimuth tonearm. Tonearms with no azimuth adjustment mechanism at all are also True Azimuth tonearms.

    1. SRA/VTA Blade displays headshell angle on front/back axis independently of any tilt on the left/right (azimuth) axis.

    2. Azimuth Blade displays headshell angle on left/right axis independently of any tilt on the front/back (SRA/VTA) axis.

When you purchase a WallyReference, you choose Indirect Azimuth, True Azimuth or both in a combo set.

 

Azimuth Calibration Note: A solution for measuring azimuth angles on “free-rolling” unipivot tonearms is currently under development. “Free-rolling” unipivots (as opposed to unipivots designed with a rigid stabilizing mechanism) allow the pivot housing to rock atop the unipivot in a clockwise/ counterclockwise manner along the axis of the armwand.

The WallyReference arrived and I have successfully completed SRA adjustments on my SME V and Rega RB2000 tonearms. It actually took me longer to find a dropped cartridge screw than it did to make the changes with the WallyTool! The *genius* of these tools is the beautiful simplicity of their physical designs which are based on the thorough understanding of the desired results and their ease of use in achieving those goals.

Stereophile/Analogue Corner, Michael Fremer, 2021

The WallyReference is a 16mm-tall device that comes with shims. With the cartridge lowered, stylus sitting in the record groove (but turntable not turning!), use the “standup” height gauge supplied with the WallyReference to measure the distance from the record surface to the headshell’s lower surface. If the measured height is 16mm, you’re all set, but if it’s more (I can’t recall encountering a cartridge that was less), locate the appropriate shims (supplied) to make up the difference. Now, remove the cartridge and affix the WallyReference (with shims) to the headshell.

a quiet life???
This is a short story collection like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie have for Holmes and Poirot/Marple. The characters remind me of the Phryne Fisher books. There are four stories in Book 1 A Quiet Life in the Country Lady Emily Hartcastle and her maid Miss Florence Armstrong are enjoying some time in the country in the small town of Littleton Cotterell when they come across a dead body. They find out that it is Frank Pickering, a local man and it is thought that he committed suicide. But investigating, it seems that he has been murdered. Who did it and why? The Circus comes to town Lady Hartcastle meets an old friend George who is the manager who for a circus that has come to town. The next day, the juggler Hubert 'Huey' Parving is found dead mawled in a cage and then others began to die. Who is behind this? The Case of the Missing Case Lady Hartcastle and Flo go to the engagement party of young Clarissa Farley-Strouds. The next day, Nelson Holloway, the trumpet player with that night's entertainment - Roland Richman's Ragtime Revue. Who killed him? As they investigate, the clues lead them to possible cursed stolen jewel. The Half-Death of Gunther Ehrlichmann Florence recounts her life before and after meeting Lady and Lord Hartcastle as she and Lady Hartcastle along with Lady Hartcastle's brother hunt down a killer. Each story is tied into the other, but exciting! Must read!

Fun Seeing Where it All Begins for the Fantastic Amateur Detecting Duo
Format: Audiobook
I started with book three in this series, progressed forward, and finally took the opportunity to go back and get the first book in the series. The whimsical, cozy mystery paired with historical Edwardian setting was light and whimsical. Actually, when I started listening, I realized that the first book introduced Lady Hardcastle and her ladies' maid, Florence Armstrong along with their new home and the other regular characters, in such a way that it didn't feel like the first book so much as the first of the stories that had been recorded. There are hints of their unusual, dangerous work abroad and no big explanation why the pair happened to be set upon 'a quiet life in the country' or why Lady Hardcastle and Florence have a relationship that is nearly family rather than an employer and servant from separate classes. The author trickles out the details and the reader/listener must catch them and piece them together as they go. Because I had experienced later books, those pieces stuck out easily to me. The meeting with Inspector Sunderland and the local villagers and neighborhood was fun. There are two murder mysteries that have interesting crossover people and facts. One seems to involve a dead man from the village cricket team whose death was meant to appear like a suicide and then later, the death of a rag-time band trumpeteer that played at the engagement party of the local squire's daughter. A theft is tossed in for good measure. I figured out one of the murders and part of the theft and the second murder, but the ultimate solution took me by surprise. Loved seeing the intrepid Flo able to get in some of her martial arts ability and spend time trailing along as they teased out the solution along side Inspector Sunderland. Elizabeth Knowelden is an absolute gem of a narrator and the voice of this series for me. She laid out the Edwardian country village world, the variety of genders and accents, and kept the pace and tone for this series just right. All in all, I thought this first entry was as fabulous as the later books and do not hesitate to put it out there as a good bet for historical cozy mystery lovers.

Best mineral sunscreen

Best sunblock. No white cast if you use the 30 spf. My dermatologist recommended this years ago and I’ve used it since.

No white residue
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I put this sunscreen on immediately after it was delivered. It smells so good & goes on smoothly without any white residue. It seems to protect the skin, but then again I put some on every hour on the hour and didn't have any issues. I will be reordering. I wish this was on subscribe and save, but will continue to purchase.
