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.

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.

That wooshing sound that many hear is their last "clue" flying away. That would explain the clueless responses to obvious sarcasm :-)

Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other
