AcousTech Stylus Force Gauge


Hi,
I bought one of these to measure VTF. It appears that the height of the measuring pad upon which the cartridge sits is about 1/16" to 1/8" higher that the height of a record. Is this going to give me an inaccurate reading?
Thanks, Jeff

Thanks Dan,
I'll relax now about the measurement thing. If I get kooky and build an outrigger, I'll post the difference. Jeff
I paid $95 with shipping, which seemed fair to me. But, my real question is whether, since we are working with very tight tolerances, measuring the VTF 1/8" above the record plane distorts the measurement in a meaningful way. My intuition tells me there is some error induced here. I suppose I could build something and measure the VTF at the record plane next to the platter. Jeff
