Correct azimuth allows you to have a soundstage that, for many recordings, extends well beyond the speakers and well behind them. Since I listen to classical music, I think the rewards of a proper azimuth are large and rewarding. YMMV.
The adjustment is very easy with my arm. I find that with the proper records, I can adjust it by ear. Some people use expensive devices to do so. I have read about them and I would find them a pain, and expensive pain at that.
Though others may differ, playing a mono record with one channel out of phase will get you very close, perhaps close enough.
