That's my method too Grant. I use very well known tracks and set azimuth as close as I can by eye sometimes with a mirror but I also have a small metal rod that sits in a groove on top of my head shell I can use to judge level.
However it really is down to my own ear how well I have set up azimuth as I can hear channel separation and extremes of soundstage and detail in well known recordings that tell me all is good.
Neanderthal method - Yes but I can live with it.
