Fozgometer

I seem to remember the Fozgometer being somewhat discredited by users in general, the inference being it was only dependable in 2 out of 3 cases(?). If you prefer measurement perhaps a better option would be to wait for one of these :

I'm not sure the device ever fully went to market(???)
They've been telegraphing its release for some time.
Also it is/will be a good deal more expensive than the Fozgometer.

This seems like a handy device (and made in the US). I considered buying one a few years ago :

Looks more trouble-free than the Foz (no lights, you judge the sound minimum)?
It is bound to have its critics too I am certain ;^)

If you use the Fozgometer, you should heed Fremer's latest blog and also the bulletins from the distributor. Turns out the Foz is very dependent for accuracy upon the exact DC voltage being put out by its "9V" battery. 9V batteries never put out exactly 9V. Thus every Foz, new or old, needs to be calibrated prior to use. There are instructions how to do that at both sites. This revelation probably accounts for the wildly different opinions I have read here and elsewhere regarding the accuracy of the Foz.

I think "767400" is pointing out this same issue.

IMO, Fosgate should make available at least an optional external 9V regulated power supply that plugs into the Foz. Get rid of that battery.

I just got a brand new replacement Foz from Musical Surroundings. Mike (service) calibrated it personally, and sent me a new battery as well. It took about 10 minutes or so to get the azimuth perfect. Now that the cartridge/arm is set up, I'm going to monkey around with loading. I will return.
