Azimuth cannot be set with a bubble level with most cartridges that have glued-on styluses which are hardly ever 90 degrees perpendicular to the cantilever or cartridge body (and then to the record) - only the styli that are fitted through a hole drilled in the cantilever (usually aluminum) will have even a chance of being right. Harry Weisfeld can be heard complaining about this on one of VPI's YouTube videos. Shibata styli are particularly picky about how they're aligned.
Who Has Technics Headshell with Azimuth Adjustment?
Something on my wish list is Technics head shell with an azimuth adjustment. I’ve seen some on eBay that claim to be the genuine Technics part:
“ORGINAL TECHNICS/PANASONIC PART # TPBGA003 ~ ADJUSTABLE AZIMUTH FITS 1200 SERIES”
So I’m compelled to ask: is it genuine or not?
Perhaps these might be the head shell that comes with the current SL-1200 range. Does anyone know for certain?
