Digital Turntable Stylus Force Scale Gauge 0.01g Blue LCD Backlight,Tracking Force Pressure Gauge/Scale for Tonearm Phono Cartridge

For the price it's great. I verified it's accuracy by doing the tracking force manually, and then checking with this device, it's was almost perfect. So it works, and is accurate. The thing to know if you're new to vinyl is that if you get one of these you don't have to do all the fiddly balancing and setting the weight. Just do a quick an dirty balance to get it in the ballpark then use this to refine the setting. Reduces your level of effort by 75%, and is more accurate, which is good for your listening experience and your vinyl records longevity!

I had a little plastic stylus scale for about 40 years. Then, tragically, I stepped on it. I bought this and it dried my tears immediately. It's not like you need a stylus scale every day, but when you do, this thing does an excellent job. Just read the directions and it's easy to use. I don't think I'll last another 40 years, but this thing just might.

For the price, you can't beat it. It is as accurate as you need for measuring your tracking force, the unit is small and can be stored easily, and has various settings for different measurements. I like having the included weight to check the accuracy occasionally. The only thing I see as a negative is that is sits fairly high and so you really should take the record and mat off to get a good reading, not that it's much different if you don't. Be sure that you use the exact model batteries when replacing and have some handy, because you probably don't have these around (LR43). Don't try to force LR44's for instance because they are a bit taller and wider so the lid won't fit, plus you run the risk of breaking off the contact tab that wraps around the top battery.

I had experienced skipping issues with my new turntable, the Angels Horn turntable, and I Youtubed/Googled the problem. I discovered a problem with the force pressure of the stylus. I tried to resolve it with the dials and gauges on the turntable but in the video suggestion was to get this scale gauge. This gauge will accurately measure the down pressure to the recommended weight for vinyl records. I did my best to get the accurate down pressure weight, 3.5g, with the dials and gauge on the turntable. Once I got the scale I found out that I was almost there, 3.15g, so I then turned the gauge to the appropriate weight of 3.5g. If for some reason this problem arises again I can accurately measure and adjust as needed. By the way, this isn't that expensive at all, so I think I got a great deal for this. I recommend this.

Great investment would highly recommend. Had my turntable for a few years now wished I done this sooner the weight of the tone arm is very important so you can get the best performance from your stylus. Scale is easy to assemble. Go on YouTube as I did follow instructions to the letter.

This was easy to use. Measured calibration weight accurately, and checked that with a penny, which weighs 2.5g, which it read accurately. Much easier than the mechanical scale I had been using, which never read the same twice. Weighing surface was a bit higher than it needed to be, making setting the needle down a bit more difficult with a linear tracking arm. But it got the job done, for a lot less than most other options. I'm very happy with the purchase.

So this works well enough once you get the terminal where the batteries go fixed. The bottom wasn't up enough so there wasn't a stead connection, easy enough fix but annoying regardless. One fo the batteries came damaged, looks like it was returned and someone pried out a battery causing the damage. I can't be certain if that's what happened or not, just appears that way. Now as for the functionality it works great. Was able to easily measure the tracking force on the arm instead of going through the hassle of balancing the tonearm and adjusting the counter weight (mine doesn't have the maximum tracking force so you have to do a couple full rotations)

Product as described, works perfectly. Arrived promptly and well-packaged.

This tracking Force gauge is very well made and works perfectly. It comes with a 5 G weight for calibration but you can use it right out of the box as it's pre-calibrated. It even comes in a little pouch to keep it safe. Very impressed.

It's inexpensive and it works as advertised.

Works as should. Great for setting up your stylus.

Easy to use and a must tool for setting up any turntable or new cartridge set up for accurate stylus pressure , I recommend to buy the protractor grid to aid in lined up angle for optimum sound reproduction . A must have tool for DIY and save on sending your table for someone else and lots of money you could save to buy more albums used it twice and paid for itself

Works great
