Your ears are right

Just because a cartridge is parallel to the record surface, it doesn't mean the azimuth setting is correct. In fact in nearly every case of the many dozens of setups I've done, regardless of cost, the optimum azimuth is at something different from zero (level). The improvement can range from audible to mind blowing. Equalizing crosstalk between channels gets you in the ballpark, gives you a starting point from which to fine tune using other measurements or by listening.
