Thanks guys for letting me know how crappy my Shure gauge is! And all this time...
VTF gauge
Trying to find a VTF gauge that had the measuring pad at the height of the album. Measuring VTF at the exact height of the album is critical. I have looked at numerous scales on line and none of them clearly states the height of the measuring pad. Can anyone recommend a scale that puts the measuring pad at the height of the album?
Thanks
Steve

millercarbon The Shure stylus force gauge is a plastic and metal teeter-totter.... that the carefully used is about as accurate as any digital gauge ...The Shure is accurate as far as it goes, but it's nowhere near as precise as a good digital gauge. ... it costs a lot less and relies on gravity which I'm told is more reliable long term than batteries.If batteries not sufficiently reliable for you, perhaps you should consider installing a hand crank on your car to help you get it started. |
Ortofon DS-1 is the best digital gauge, period you can close the topic |
My $2.95 (vastly more expensive today I see) Chinese gauge is accurate to within 0.01g at all points with its intended range. How exactly is the Ortofon better? |
