Azimuth and the Fozgometer

Finally received the Fozgometer after a 2 month backorder. In the past I have always used a loupe and a front surface mirror to set the azimuth on my Tri-Planar with Dynavector XV-1S cartridge. According to the meter, I was very close to a correct azimuth. I wasn't prepared for the effects that a very slight adjustment would make. Nailing the azimuth has brought my soundstage into tight focus. I have never experienced this kind of solid imaging in my system.
I know that the $250 price tag is a bit steep for something that won't get a lot of use, but this is not a subtle improvement. There are other ways of measuring azimuth, that I am not very familiar with, but I would doubt that they are as easy to use as the Fozgometer.

Some people will spend $5000.00 on a cartridge and another $5K on a tonearm in a blink of an eye but will cheap out on a "proper" alignment protractor and digital scale and on and on... and rely solely on their "trusted" ears.

I do not have a FOZ. The Cartright...... where do i line up??

Call to Peter Lederman. Stop making cartridges for a few weeks and get this thing tested and on to the market. The market is flooded with all kinds of cartridges. We need something to align them properly. Not more cartridges.
