"Soundsmith says the Fozgometer doesn't work with their cartridges because the separation is so high, the readings on the meter can lead you to misalign the cart." Do you understand that statement? Because I don't.
The question that comes up in setting azimuth is do you set it for equal levels of crosstalk, L to R and R to L? Or do you set it for minimum crosstalk, regardless of the fact that you see different values (in db) for L to R compared to R to L? I've never used a Foz, but I get the impression that it is designed to end up with equal values of crosstalk (option #1). If that is the goal, then in my experience that often results in setting the stylus tip at an angle that is well off 90 degrees with respect to the groove. In that same experience, this results in aberrant stylus wear and distortion, but you can feel good that you have equal crosstalk in each channel. I most recently stopped worrying and set the stylus tip at 90 degrees with respect to the groove without measuring anything electrically. The Korf website outlines the justification for that approach. Can be a problem with a classic unipivot tonearm.
