This one is very nice. It's what I use, although I also have the Shure.

+1 on Ortofon DS 3 digital scale. Utmost accuracy and reliability. https://www.ortofon.com/ds-3-digital-stylus-pressure-gauge-p-708-n-3444 |
Audite84 and vassilis, I hate to tell you this but the same scale is available on Amazon for $40.00 under the "HiFi Guy" name. The Chinese do this all the time. They design a gauge for Ortofon then either sell it to other people like Jelco or sell it themselves undercutting the price substantially. You have wandered into a perfect example. This scale also shares a lot in common with the Riverstone gauge. It would not surprise me if the internal mechanism is the same. The Pro-Ject is another example. Ortofon might tell you that theirs is "selected" for better tolerances which is doubtful. I have an Ortofon DS-1 which I am sure I overpaid for. It only reads down to 10ths which is also not good enough for the Gizmo. |
