What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like?

Slowhand, I already picked out two possibilities for you:

The Jennings JS-50X or JS-100X should do the trick at $35 or $50. I think they come with calibration weights. Double check that, but I'm pretty sure.

I went with the Wally Scale, 1/100 version. There is a 1/10 version as well.

Rushton, finally someone who understands how to use a scale and the nonsense of getting highly 'accurate' scales (and expensive) for VTF setting of cartridges.
I use the small scale supplied with the B&O cartridge a long time ago and then 'tune' by ear with a test record. Repeatability is about 0.1g, which is sufficient for my purposes - I calibrate my vinyl playback system about every 3 months.
Salut, Bob P.

Rushton: Thanks so much for the walkeraudio link--very clear and helpful as I continue to dial in my Transfiguration Temper Supreme with my Graham 2.2 arm and RPM 2 table.

As Rushton says, VTF is best set by listening, using a test LP designed for this purpose if possible. If you have a stylus force gauge, and you want to calibrate it, a nickle coin weighs exactly 5 grams.
