Which VTF Scale are you using?

Shure SFG-2 FTW. I'm not putting digital into my analog chain!

Rega Atlas.

Not cheap but if you’re a dedicated vinyl person, recommended.

Not to offend, but the Shure balance scale is a piece of crap. When I referenced it to and through what I now own, it was off by a wide enough margine that audiophiles shouldn’t accept.

I was surprised to read years ago that Fremer was still recommending it!

  

Built like a piece of jewelry,

Definitely one of these in my future! And probably an Ortofon scale.

The digital scales can be off. I check them with little calibration weights.
The Ortofon I currently use is right on but it sits awkwardly on my gizmo so I ordered a Riverstone which should work better. It looks like a great product for the money. People here seem to like it.
The Musou is sold under 20 different names and costs anywhere from $12 to $129 for Pro-Ject's version. So much for exclusivity. 

I use a 20 year old WallyScale.  While it is somewhat Rube Goldbergish, it still works quite well.
