The best phono cartridge alignment tool


The best phono cartridge alignment tool.  Can anyone recommend a phono cartridge alignment tool that:

- Has both horizontal and vertical (azimuth) alignment

-  isn't that complex to use

-  is under $300?

Some of the phone cartridges I'm interested aren't available in my area so professional set-up is not an option.  If I'm going to spend $2K to $4K on a cartidge I really need to make sure I nail the installation.  thanks.

For Azimuth I use the Hudson Hi Fi and I cut a piece of lighter card stock cut longer then the jig and placed it on top of the tone arm cartridge mount in a effort to simulate the VPI small steel bar to set the azimuth. When I seen the black line was in the center of the card stock across the entire jig that was a good indication that it was good.

It keep rechecking setup every week until I get a confidence its right.
