The Azimuth separation values depends on the choice of Lo Cut frequency on the Puffin. With Lo Cut at 5Hz the separation values are worse than at 20Hz , due to low frequency rumble and groove noise. Setting the Lo Cut to 20Hz instead of 5 Hz improves separation with 8 db in my case.

Parks Audio don't sell this anymore. They replaced this product with Waxwing.

Very cool feature. To be clear though, minimal crosstalk or balanced separation does not necessarily mean the stylus Azimuth is optimal. Since the stylus can be at a different angle than the generator.

This is brilliant in conjunction with the Tacet test record I bought, btw on my turntable and cart (ATVM540ml) it measured up to 33 on the right using the Tacet but I settled for around 29db on L&R and it sounds fantastic. Also the tonearm resonance test is great goes up in increments of 1db from 5 to 15hz.

So is this like having a Fozgometer built in? Very cool.

Is the Telarc Omnidisc a suitable test LP to use with the Puffin and the Waxwing?
@false_binary · 2 years ago
So your goal was to get the highest db output but not necessarily "perfectly'ish" balanced on both channels? Thanks for the video, very informative!

PARKS AUDIO, the closer the vinyl grooves makes the less/lower Azimuth Separation? Azimuth means the separation and isolation between the right channel to the left channel. The Azimuth is measuring the isolation between the L and R channels?

Is it possible to make a video showing how it actually improves the sound quality and the playback of the record? Does it remove any cracks or pops from the record?
