Fozgometer Azimuth Range Meter

[krellmk]

Large all-analog meter makes it easy to visualize the azimuth for perfect alignment. A must to properly setup your turntable phono cartridge.
Anyone here use this.

I imagine there is a specific record to use with it?

I don’t have one but it might be nice to have.

Fozgometer was on my want list. I had no idea they were NLA. In my last Music direct catalog, but website says no more.
So the used prices will definitely stay near three bills or higher I suppose.
Jolida makes the FOZ XT-R crosstalk reducer box that may be my choice instead to play with. You can measure like the Fozgometer ,then adjust it out without messing with the stylus.

Pricey

Use an good test record and a scope

The Fozgometer seems to be a standard tool for folks who do cartridge/ stylus repair & that's why I thought they must be useful.

I had a stylus retipped with a naked diamond and the fellow who did it gave me a printout of the Fozgometer

nice.

He has a great reputation on another audio site , got the hammer a few years ago for I think borderline unpaid advertising and they do NOT stand for that. Bad Karma.

 

[Bradrock]

He also often has very nice used re tipped cartridges/ stylus on ebay

I never understood Audiokarmas policy on that. Bad juju for sure, but why can't a guy drop his thing in a post, are they that greedy that they have to pay for being a vendor??

I don't know Lee. I have not been back since they ruined the Bartertown sales section a year or so ago. I learned a ton and bought more than a hundred albums based on other members recommendation posts on records for sale. Then they eliminated all posting in Bartertown and that was the end of that. I'll never understand that brilliant decision either.
Keep in mind you have to PAY $25.00 a year just to get in!
