FWIW, it is advisable to use the same preamplifier channel for measuring the crosstalk levels of both channels in order to minimize electrical errors. Unfortunately this requires swapping Input channels between the testing of R/L tracks.
Also, most digital level measuring devices utilize a sample hold function. It is highly advisable to use this “Hold” feature as it allows for dismissal of artifacts by observing ONLY the low capture and tossing out Average & High level readings.
As stated, the objective is to obtain as low and as equal crosstalk levels as possible between channels by rotating azimuth. Pay attention to anti-skating & pray for symmetrical channel separation of your pickup’s coils.
If all else fails, adjust by ear for minimum sibilance while enjoying increased resolution.
