How do you set your cart's azimuth in the 21st century?

Easy to miss. Only the OP gets notified for all posts. I do appreciate all of the non rude viewpoints.  Except for the smartass sarcastic idiotic ones. 
After having reviewed the entire thread it would seem to me cleeds that you might own certain people and apology. I don't condone hot headed behavior and some people do have an unnecessarily short fuse. But, it does seem to me that you have a hard time admitting you are wrong. I think it would be sporting if you had those people re instituted. Threatened? what were they going to do. Cut your ears off? 
This thread has gotten way too complicated for the subject which is about as simple as it gets. A degree one way or another is not going to make any difference what so ever. All it takes is a good eye and a mirror and you are in business. If you do not have a good eye get someone who does.  $300.00 (fozzgometer) buys a lot of records or a nice dinner out with the wife so you can get away with buying more records. A dozen roses also helps. Us ladies love flowers🥰 
Still good to check it regardless what level cart you have. But I understand what you say......My Delos after I complete all setup, points straight down, no offset.
I'm pretty happy.....

catcher10, the problem with the cross-talk method is it is really only accurate if the cartridge is manufactured properly, and even then works best with simpler stylus designs.
Fozzgometer does not work properly for azimuth especially if the cartridge has internal alignment issues. 1 degree out will make a bigger difference than any high priced cables.
Well that is easy, if it is not able to be setup right and you find the cart body skewed drastically then.....send the cartridge back and get a new one or better built cartridge.
