Stylus Force Gauge

I have the same version as Mehran sells. I think one place makes them and a variety of people put their labels on them.
Mine works fine. Anyone who thinks they need down to 0.001 gram obviously has enough invested in the system and their room to afford whatever scale gives them what they need. Most of us will have trouble hearing the difference at less than 0.05 grams so 0.01 grams does it for me.

i purchased the $48 scale from SORAsound. I originally set my tracking force with the Shure to around 2.6g per the recommendation of VPI/Benz. Checking my setting with the digital scale yielded 2.689g so as far as I can tell, the Shure is accurate enough. I guess it doesn't hurt to have another scale to double check though.

I'm yet another owner of the one from Sorasound.

A digital scale is a digital scale is a digital scale. Just because it is an "audiophile approved" scale doesn't make it better. There are a number of websites that sell digital scales. Doa searcha dn find one that has increments of .01 of a gram and you're all set, for about 1/4 to 1/2 what an audiophile scale would cost you.

Enjoy,

I don't know about others but the one I have eats batteries like crazy. I think there is something strange about the power circuit. This is the same one that Sorasound sells.
