I never said you can't get good sound w/o the fozgo. Matter of fact you can, and I said so above. It's just that it allows you to get "mo better" sound...especially if your cart is not built right and your arm is in neutral azimuth position (ie: not rotated either way), or you have tried to adjust for it with some non-fozgo method.
I will however, disagree that other methods are just as good -- as you seem to be asserting. I'm sorry, but there is just no way you can use either your ears or eyes, and get the same precise results that Fozgo can give you. No way. God bless you if you are Superman and you can!
Now, if you don't have super-human powers can you get lucky and get close? Sure. But Fozgo eliminates luck and gives certainty. And it does so
very quickly. No fuss, no muss.
And I never brought $$ into the equation. If you don't think it's worth it...fine. That is all subjective and a legitimate pt of view. All I've ever said is: (1) it is an excellent tool for dialing in azimuth, (2) that it is superior to anything else out there, and (3) that in my experience its effect is not subtle. And every guy who has seen it in action will concur on these points. I don't know why you continue to argue against these obvious facts.
You seem to be taking this whole thing way too seriously and personally. Just chill. You are entitled to your opinion, and it doesn't bother me. If you think you have a better method, or one just as good, fine, enjoy yourself. But I will never agree that you do. Nor will most others. That's all.
Now back to spinning vinyl on this snowy day w my superb sounding and fozgo'ed analog rig!
