Cardas test lp version 2


I might have bought the wrong lp for doing my azimuth set up. The cardas version 2 has a 1k test tone but its in stereo, not left then right. So this means I'll have to check with my mirror again. I've already set azimuth by the straw method, and a have a piece of glass to see if the stylus is vertical, but my loop isn't strong enough I don't think. What magnifying power should I use?

Also If there is a way to use the lp and a multimeter can someone please explain?

I have the Fozgometer and the Ultimate Analogue Test LP. When adjusting for crosstalk (the correct way to adjust azimuth), you're not aligning the stylus in the groove per se. You're aligning the signal generators above the groove which is more important. It's ok if one side of the stylus is a little higher than the other, as long as the coils etc are parallel to the grooves. This is what I found with my Dynavector 17D3 and it sounds great. But, the stylus itself is slightly counter clockwise and the bottom of the cartridge is perfectly parrellel to the record. I'm a big fan of the Fozgometer. It works.
