Another way to set azimuth
5 Attachment(s)
Nor sure if this is the best but seems to work for me. I was able to find a small enough and light enough bubble level to place on the tone arm shell. At less than half a gram it doesn't seems to put too much weight or stress on the needle.

Mike.......That is an interesting idea, unfortunately that method assumes the cantilever and stylus tip are in the same horizontal line as the headshell. Without the Fozogometer I have had good success using a small mirror. Lower the cartridge tip onto the mirror's surface, view it directly from the front using a jeweler's 10x loop. Adjust azimuth so that the refection of the stylus tip and the actual tylus tip are equally aligned images. I tried this method before using the Fozogometer to see how far off I might be and found I was very close to perfect when checking with the Fozogometer.

I agree with Dan......way too many variables with your 'bubble' Mike. IMO, the rod and measurement method provided by VPI is acceptable as well

Thanks Dan, just ordered the Test LP from Amazon. Now I just need to find a Fozgometer.

The Fozgometer is basically a voltmeter in a fancy "Audiophile" casing. If you have a good RMS voltmeter you can measure the output of both channels and achieve the same result. It will be a bit more cumbersome as you will need to connect and measure one channel at a time.
