Fozgometer?


Just yesterday read in Stereophile about this new tool for setting azimuth electrically. Sounds interesting, but also IMO is slightly borderline for myself to decide whether the cost ($250) would justify buying such a tool?

Downside with myself, is my Arm is not adjustable in azimuth, unless I maybe throw a Pipe Wrench on the Armtube?

Still, would be interesting to get other's opinions, and hopefully soon, some user's accounts of such a tool? Mark

Hey Restock, i checked out your Ispectrometer for mac and the frequency filters like the 1k needed look easy to apply. I use a windows based notebook and did a extensive google search and could not come up with a meter that i could understand or use. Zelscope and Oscllometer seemed good for this adjustment but i could not get them setup for a good reading, the Ispectrometer you used seems cut and dry for adjustments like this.

Using a DVM with the millivolt setting instead of the standard voltage setting made a big difference in the meters range. With standard voltage setting the range was all over the place with millivolt setting the range was steady for a good adjustment. And the sound i m getting proves it. Better than my brain/ear method of adjusting azimuth i must say.
Restock, I apologize for not having read your earlier post on the iSpectrum. I am going to down load it and give it a whirl.
I think phase angle has to be considered as well, no? Cartridges are rarely equal in output so I think you need to know the output difference to really have an effective method to measure azimuth by crosstalk level. The method of equaling crosstalk between L and R doesn't make sense if the inherent level difference between L and R is not considered.
Hi Guys

I'm about to order one of these.

I have the cardas Frequency and Burn in Record & Hi Fi Test New LP.

Do I need the Analogue Productions Ultimate Analog Test LP ?

Thanks for the inputs.
