Actually, that isn't the way it works. As the phase between the channels
of
a stereo recording has no necessary standard or fixed relation****p, it's
not
a useful way to set azimuth.

In the ****amichi, the outermost track (the one closest to the tape edge)
is
split into two head gaps, each with its own amplification. The head block
is
moved until the HF output of these heads peaks. (Or is it that the phase
difference is minimized?) Anyhow...
