Jolida Foz X-TR Fozgometer solving crosstalk / azimuth - UK voltage unit
New and never used - box opened though and unit inspected.
You’ll see these on eBay for £300 out the US excl shipping, VAT and duty.
LOOKING FOR £200 incl U.K. post.
Easiest lp to use to set the unit up is the Ultimate Analog Test Lp.

There is also a video review on their website: http://www.jolida.com/product/foz-xt-r
Jim Fosgate is the designer... Jim (Foz) Fosgate’s life long career in audio design represents decades of work on every possible circuit approach to car stereo (founder of Rockford Fozgate), surround processors, tube amplifiers, preamplifiers, phono preamplifiers and other accessories.
Foz has designed an elegant electronic circuit to effectively reduce crosstalk and axial tilt.
The XT-R represents a breakthrough since axial tilt and crosstalk is compensated for electronically and does not use the traditional approach of physical adjustment to mitigate the problems.
The XTR incorporates signal cancellation to reduce inter channel crosstalk. This is the same technique that is used in high separation surround processors. The XTR corrects for a misaligned stylus or cantilever, misaligned generator, misaligned tone arm azimuth (axial tilt). It also reduces crosstalk from cross coupling of the generator coils or tone arm wiring.
This works with moving magnet, moving iron, and moving coil cartridges. The XT-R will compensate for up to 7 degrees of axial tilt and can improve crosstalk to a maximum of 40dB.
The result will be an improvement in stereo imaging.
Gain: Unity
InputZ: 71K
OutputZ: 400 ohms
SNR: > then 90DB "A weighted"
Distortion THD: Less than 0.25% (1kHz)
Perfect Square wave response, no ringing or overshoot.
Frequency response DC to 200KHZ +0 -3DB
Phase inverting
Distortion THD: Less than 0.25% (1kHz)
Dimensions: 8 inches wide by 7 inches deep by 3 inches high
This link and review explains how to use the unit (you need a lp that plays a left and right channel tone to dial out the crosstalk): http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0417/Jolida_FOZ_XT_R_Fozgometer_Review.htm
