Stylus force digital scales

I very much agree that the Shure scale is good enough. After getting the VTF in the "ballpark", you should experiment with a little more, and a little less to find the optimum for your cartridge. All that Dougdeacon said is "golden", ...I have an electronic scale, but its really not needed.

The Audio Additives gauge from Music Direct reads to three decimal places. I have found it to be accurate and consistent. It appears well made(china) and is only 79.99. Another benefit, battery requirements are triple A's not the high dollar watch type batteries.

Is that Audio Additives scale truly non-magnetic?

I have the identical one from Acoustic Sounds (provably made by the same manufacturer) and its magnetic and still needs taring when I put my cart hovering over the weigh scale area.

Another recommendation for the Shure scale. Accurate and easy to use.
