TT Set Up / Test Record

[WESTLOWER]

Has anyone used a TT Set Up / Test Record for absolute cartridge alignment?
If so, any good? Which one? ...:scratch:

Hi I have previously used the Hifi news test record and fed my deck into my pc and used "True RTA" as a spectrum Analyzer and oscilloscope , The anti skate track is useful but don't add too much weight trying to get the cartridge to track correctly.
The pink noise L & R is good to check tonal balance , the pink noise L / R are good for Azimuth.
Also included are lateral and vertical resonance tests for checking the Arm /cart matching.
Using the record and watching the scope taught me a lot, But found the best sound came from setting the cartridge close to the manufacturer setting then slight adjustments by ear.

This is a link to a post discussing this test disc and others.
