Azimuth adjustment per se has very little effect on the output per channel (i.e., balance). This fact is mentioned in two erudite treatises on azimuth to be found in the Vinyl Asylum archives, authored by Victor Khomenko and B Kearns, respectively. To check this out, I made measurements across a wide range of azimuth settings using my Wheaton Triplanar with Koetsu Urushi, a sensitized Signet cartridge analyzer, and a Shure test record. The max difference in channel balance effected by the most extreme changes in azimuth was about 1 db. Azimuth affects channel separation (i.e., the amount of L channel signal leaking into the R channel and vice-versa) but not the difference in output signal between channels (much). This comes up all the time on this and the other forum. Look elsewhere for your the solution to your problem.
