Fozgometer for VTA/azimuth.
Or an oscilloscope.
Thanks folks. Watchnerd, saw the Fozgometer online (Needle Doctor has it); have you had any calibration needs per this article https://www.analogplanet.com/content/foz...wner-alert ? Do you use the Ultimate Analog Test Record with it? How does it measure VTA or SRA? Can it calibrate Anti-Skating?
Separately, still like what I'm hearing with the XX2 direct to 250 Pro. Finally get to use RAM to play around with the load settings (wish there was a display on the remote). The sweet spot for my system is from 60 to 85 ohms, usually using 60 or 70 depending on the album. Finding 100 a bit brittle.

The Fozgometer is only used to set Azimuth, it won't help with VTA or SRA or Anti-Skate. I know several folks who use the Ultimate Analog Test record with it. I just have not been able to bring myself to invest that much in a single purpose device. Which is neither here nor there as there are many happy customers of the device.

Thanks baddog, that was my understanding as well. Still sorting out the cartridge adjustment (particularly on the VTA/SRA front; right now the pivot end of my tonearm is a bit higher than parallel), but enjoying the music in the meantime!

FWIW - the pivot end of my tonearm is slightly higher than parallel and I am quite happy with the sound.
Some people invest in a digital USB microscope to try and manage VTA.
