You are so right Doc i did the same thing basically. I thought it was correct man i was wrong and getting it right on is worth the time for sure. Another thing i did was go over all adjustments and another casualty was alignment. I know better and had been as a practice checking setup monthly but got lazy. Having a vinyl front end as your primary source for serious listening demands the time to go over your setup regularly and i will try and remember that from now on.
My experience with changing azimuth
After all the recent threads about adjusting azimuth here and on AA, I ran across an article written by Joel Durand, http://www.durand-tonearms.com/index.php?p=1_9_Azimuth-talk, on what to listen for when adjusting azimuth by ear. Fortunately, adjustment was fairly straightforward on my Triplanar using a Ella Fitzgerald mono LP. It only took ~10 minutes to dial in the correct setting, but it was the best 10 minutes I've spent in a long time. The differences are not subtle and am now spending the afternoon re-listening to all the subtleties that I've missed from having the azimuth off.
