Agree with most of what is said above. Everything matters. Signals are tiny, and anything that can, will effect the signal.
Regarding Azimuth, I need to see the video.
Seems to me, when set up properly (I use a voltmeter, check left and right channels using a 1kHz signal that plays left, then right) Fremer has a way to do this if you have an accurate multi meter and a test record.

Curious to see what Peters thoughts are on this? It would seem to me, that in order to get the best possible L/R channel separation, proper azimuth is critical...
