Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique


Would you be satisfied with this?  I know lighting plays a big part, but I think this is a pretty representative picture.  This is a micro ridge stylus.  It's pretty difficult to make fine azimuth adjustments on my arm, so I'm reluctant to mess with this, but if it's is not optimal, I will.

Impossible to see on a microscopic level.

Play some Joni Mitchell Blue (or a little Wayne Newton 😆) and listen for detail vs Sibilance. That should tell you everything.

If sibilant, simply rotate azimuth towards the channel that breaks up first - clockwise for inner groove left channel & vise versa while observing proper anti-skating.
