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

I used a couple of test records I had laying around and they didn't work. I bought the Analogue Productions record and it worked fine.

"I used the Cardas lp it has 1K L and R tones i believe tracks 9 10 and 11"

Hey,

You have the older one? The 2010 update only appears to have one 1khz track and I suppose it is Mono.

Thanks,
Robert

Jeez, How many versions of the Cardas record are there!?

I have two already, the last one I bought about 2 years ago, and now there's another one?! lol

Jazzgene, I think you are correct, and I think the Foz does first ask you to correct for a difference in output per channel. With my venerable Signet Cartridge Analyzer (and the proper test LP), the very first step to adjust azimuth is zero-ing one channel with respect to the other, using the meter and the attenuator built into the Signet.
