Aries 3 setup
I had my dealer set up my Aries 3 when I bought it, but being the tinkerer I am, I decided to get the proper tools to do this myself. When I initially got the table I checked and redid the azimuth and VTF. I then ordered the Feickert NG gauge, Fozgometer and the AP Ultimate test LP. I set my overhang to the Baerwald setting, adjusted the cartridge so cantilever is perpendicular to the null pt., and then checked the azimuth with the Foz. only 0.5db difference between left and right (left being higher); I left it alone. I am now awaiting the arrival of my Manley Chinook phono stage. Santa has been nice to me this year.

BUCK, I will assume you preferred the Manley over the C2300 stage? I bought this stage on reviews I read here. Previously I could not find a sub $2500 stage that could better the C2300, so I took a leap of faith.

Kevin.......Looking forward to reading your impressions of the new analog rig once it is all together with some hours on it. Happy listening.

Fozgometer
I have not seen any threads on this subject but as many tonearms have adjustable azimuth I thought of my two cents in. I believe there are 3 accessories to handle this area.... one being the Dr. Freikert tool / software. And of course the Analog L.P. Test record. I choose the Fozgometer on reviews and reputation. I do have 2 tables/arms, one with very stable and consistent azimuth and one less so. The looped tone arm wire can and does affect aximuth. I check it as needed. This device or one of the competitors has shown to be a necessity to get the most of my cartridges. Just my opinion.
