Fozgometer V2
I've been interested in a fozgometer for some time now. I'd like one to help me understand crosstalk and channel separation, so I've been aiming to pick one up. Stopped by a dealer today, was told they're essentially "for people who want to waste money" and "why would you need one of those when you can put on a modern pop mono record" to measure Azimuth. I was told this tool isn't any more more correct or exacting than your ears, but they've never used a Fozgometer (even though they have access to them. I've tried this particular dealer multiple times and just always seem to leave with a bad taste in my mouth and always ask myself why I torture myself with even visiting them.
What are some general thoughts on the Fozgometer V1 or even V2? I don't own an oscilloscope nor do a have local hifi enthusiasts to help educate me. My current setup for cartridge alignment is the mirrored version that's available for $15. I'm looking to get more precision out of my alignment and figured the Fozgometer was a tool to not only measure, but to corroborate what I'm hearing. Any advice?
@lewm thank you for the insight. I might pull the trigger to test the Fozgometer and get familiar with the experience of what is correct and what is close enough. I guess it's more of an expensive experiment to learn.
@stringreen what did you notice about the Fozgometer that was missing without it? I'm looking for easy and a tool to allow me to set and forget, but also learn some things about azimuth and using tools for accuracy. |
