Stylus Force Gauge

I have the little Digital one from Mehran as well and it works very well... also have the old Shure from back when they were $5.00. If you get to Melbourne, you can try it. I may be as far as Vero next Friday as well. Missed seeing you at the record closeout last month.

I am using the Weight Watcher from Clearaudio. Well built and accurate. The Acoustech one is not stable in my opinion. The figure keeps flutuating.

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.
