I'm wondering what you (or Peter) mean when you say a cartridge is sensitive to azimuth? And, how do you adjust azimuth under those conditions?

The reason I'm confused is because the way I adjust azimuth is by minimizing crosstalk such as with a Fozgometer or with Feickert's Adjust Plus software. Stylus geometry has absolutely no bearing on a cartridge's sensitivity to azimuth when adjusted by electrical measurement. All cartridges have essentially the same sensitivity even if they have a conical stylus. This is because the Fozgometer method adjusts the internal generator to the groove, not the stylus.

Anyway, how do you guys adjust azimuth and what do you mean by azimuth sensitivity?

Thanks,
