However, unless you use a microscope to set stylus azimuth, you'll never know for certain whether it's set correctly.
On the other hand, most of don't care about stylus azimuth. Instead, we want to minimize crosstalk and maximize stereo separation, which is the purpose of a Fozgometer.
The reason we don't care about stylus azimuth is because the edge of the stylus that contacts the groove is curved to allows the stylus to be tilted in either direction a few degrees. It normally requires less than two degrees to adjust for electrical azimuth.
If you believe your cartridge has been manufactured properly, all you really need to do is set the cartridge body level with the vinyl surface for zero-degree azimuth and the stylus should be perfectly perpendicular in the groove. That is a very simple process. You really don't even need a mirror. Simply shine a flashlight at the front of the cartridge when it's playing a record and observe its reflection on the vinyl surface. However, this method has no influence on crosstalk and stereo separation.
