Lubachl - I think you are getting confused. The Fozgometer is a tool used for getting the exact azimuth and maximum amount of channel seperation once the cartridge is properly aligned. Cartridge alignment is best accomplished using a MINT or Feikert ( or some other) protractor. Even those of us on a budget can afford the very good mirror assembly from Turntable Basics to get this job done right. Align the cart THEN make the minor adjustments to fine tune the azimuth.
Help with Cartridge Alignment
While I think I am reasonably close aligning my cartridge properly (Lyra Kleos) I am wondering if anyone out there in analog land has used a Fozgometer and what their experience with it has been. Better yet, are any owners willing to rent one. It seems silly to buy one when one only changes carts every 7 or 8 years. Thanks to all who respond.
