Best protractor right now is the Acoustical Systems SmartTractor http://www.theaudiobeat.com/blog/smartractor.htm

I've set up my Etna SL to the Lofgren B geometry and she tracks beautiful. The new Uni-DIN geometry is also available with SmartTractor.

Great selection of gear ... have fun!

If you are going to throw down for the SMARTractor, you might as well grab this to complete the package.

I’m still waiting on my new Avenger Reference TT. My dealer just informed me it will be at least another 2 weeks. I ordered on 3/17/18.

Hmmm

Yeah ... I ended up ordering an Avenger Plus at about the same time you did and waiting here as well. Being told approx 2-3 more weeks here as there was a back order on some of their parts. Luckily for me ... I had recently upgraded my DAC so I've been enjoying that break in process so I haven't really thought much about the TT not being here yet. Not yet...

Yes there is and a great one at that! John Fort Audio is where I bought my Prime and now upgrading to the Avenger with him. Great guy to work with and he knows a ton about Analog. One of the best Analog guys I've met.
