On another forum, that I will probably no longer be posting on, I asked the question IF the members believed in the ability of the tonearm to adjust azimuth. BIG MISTAKE. I was flamed to death with comments like:
Why would I want to adjust azimuth when I am perfectly happy with the sound that I am getting. I paid a lot of money for my cartridge and for the guru to set it up on my TT and I would NOT want to or have to adjust anything myself!
Or this: Having the ability to adjust azimuth will introduce more losses into the signal as there would need to be another joint in the tonearm and this would more than off-set the "supposed" advantage. Or this: The cartridge manufacturer should be able to built the cartridge so that it is correctly aligned....IF that is not the case then the cartridge manufacturer and cartridge are at fault!
This particular forum is made up of guys who adore the TT and arm that the forum is designed for; WELL known product. However, IMHO the arm in question ( very well known and high priced), is IMHO not at all competitive with today's arms, is a very flawed product.
Azimuth adjustment....Does it matter?
