avanti, You have stated the cogent argument for setting azimuth so the stylus profile is symmetrically sitting in the groove and ignoring electrical parameters while also choosing only well made cartridges from mainstream companies that are likely to have constructed the unseen vital parts of the cartridge correctly, or very very nearly so. I have adopted that view lately.
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.
