HiFi News Test Record Azimuth


I recently got the HiFi News Test Record and wanted to know what was your experience with setting up the Azimuth.
I got very low output when I flicked the mono switch but how do I know whether it’s set right?

I recently set up azimuth on a new cartridge with a VTA/Azimuth block - output was unbalanced. Then used a Fozgometer and got equal output but no magic. Then an o-scope and found 75/150 mv crosstalk. Adjusted it to 65/80 mv. Slightly unbalanced output but Glorious sound. Lesson?  Measure the right thing and azimuth matters a lot.
