Fozgometer Rental Anyone?

jbhiller,

Interesting idea...the rental.

I own one and find I don't need to use it most of the time. With my ET arm, I like using it as this arm has to be manually twisted on it's mount to adjust azimuth. This isn't a very accurately repeatable feat so the Foz really helps. On my VPI  3D arm or my Townshend/Funk Firm set-up, I don't need it.

In my (symmetrical) room, I've found if I have my speakers set up identically, I can adjust azimuth by ear very easily on the last two arms I listed.

May I ask why do you feel you need one?

Cheers!

Just be aware, it doesn't work with all cartridges.

I like the rental idea.  I own a Foz also which I recently recalibrated per Analog Planet recommendation and would rent.  Does anyone have a Feickert mounting jig they might want to rent? My user name is my last name without the L on the end. Call me in marshfield wisconsin.

I have a few Test LPs, thanks for the offer!! 

I'll try to get the Foz (and record if needed) out to sevs this weekend, and then we'll get it to jbhiller after Xmas. Happy to keep offering this service. 

Go for it, Sevs!  I think someone bought me the test record for Christmas and my arm is being rewired so after the holiday is fine here. 

All the best!

@jbhiller  it seems I managed to beat you to Roscoe's Fozgometer, already sent the deposit! ;-)
I was planning to use my 2-channel oscilloscope but your idea of borrowing Fozg is so much easier

Roscoeiii,

thank you!  I'll send you a message. Sevs is right. $50 for a weekend seems fair to me!  

How sbout right after after the Christmas holiday?  I'm having my arm rewired right now.  

FYI if your amp or preamp has power meters you can use those in place of the Foz. I had the Foz and sold it because of this. 

Don't forget that you need the appropriate test record to be use with the Foz. 

or just add gmail.com to my user name here if e-mail would be easier. 

Hit me up via messaging here. I'm happy to help. 

I am next in line should anyone agree.  To be clear, my idea of "reasonable" is $50 for one weekend, shipping on me
