Checking azimuth with a DMM or scope, please advise


Was thinking about the fozgometer, but I already have a couple DMM's and a digital scope...so I would like to try this with what I have.

I've searched but haven't found a good tutorial so I apologize if there is one. I have a Fluke 87 & 89 IV, along with a Rigol 1054Z, as well as a number of spare caps and resistors if I need to make a filter circuit.

This will be on a 1200 Mk5 and I may need to go with the stock headshell instead of a few LP Zupreme's with a much easier azimuth adjustment due to compliance. 

All input appreciated.

Thanks.

For some reason I'm having a hard time quoting so forgive me.

I ran the HiFi News Test LP on my last Denon 301 mk2 ans worked good. This time around I'm using the AT33PTG/2, along with a Cardas rewire, tonearm and unbalanced leads.

I have the cart pretty much aligned, but not 100%. I will say these last upgrades have completely transformed this table. Imaging, clarity, air or spaciousness in regards to instrument decay and vocals is quite remarkable from where it was.

I guess I'm just after that last bit of adjustment accuracy if the electronics can offer that over my ears.

I agree a good pair of headphones while making adjustments are fairly accurate, as the end result will be ultimately how it sounds.
