Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique


Would you be satisfied with this?  I know lighting plays a big part, but I think this is a pretty representative picture.  This is a micro ridge stylus.  It's pretty difficult to make fine azimuth adjustments on my arm, so I'm reluctant to mess with this, but if it's is not optimal, I will.

avanti, You have stated the cogent argument for setting azimuth so the stylus profile is symmetrically sitting in the groove and ignoring electrical parameters while also choosing only well made cartridges from mainstream companies that are likely to have constructed the unseen vital parts of the cartridge correctly, or very very nearly so.  I have adopted that view lately.

Play it on a record.  Do you like the sound?

If so, best not to over-obsess.

Trade your microscope for some nice LPs and try to stop worrying.

I have never been this close to my stylus!

It seems tilted to the left a bit.

Like others say, enjoy the music, but if you can't let it go, get an azimuth meter so you can get some sleep.

 

Buy a Fozgometer
