RockandorRoll Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Hi All I need a stylus gauge to measure tracking force on the TT Anyone have anything for sale or know of a good deal from a Sponsor? Looking to spend up to $1,000,000 but the lowest price will win Thanks 1
emesbee Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I bought one from Challenge Hi-Fi for just slightly under the price you suggest (around $12). Very simple design (2 bits of plastic).
manchu Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I bought one from Challenge Hi-Fi for just slightly under the price you suggest (around $12). Very simple design (2 bits of plastic). I had the same until recently, but just upgraded to a <$20 digital off ebay. It seems pretty accurate. WF74 Mini 0.01g x 100g Digital Pocket Scale (Stylus Gauge)
RockandorRoll Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 oh yeah, should have mentioned i want digital, just because the ebay link looks good, but those replacement batteries are hard to come by Looks like my original price estimate was off by a bit
Rural Rat Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Looks like my original price estimate was off by a bit Not really Nathan. You do want an audiophile grade one after all.
RockandorRoll Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 So, seems these are pretty hard to come by. Went to 3 stores in Adelaide this morning and no one had anything for sale. Can anyone point to an online source?
Guest yamaha_man Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Vinyleye has what you need. Edited June 21, 2014 by yamaha_man
Soundscape Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Why don't you buy the one from Vinyl Eye? It's tops, and if they have any in stock, it will be 30% until Monday.
petng Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 http://puremusicgroup.com/cart/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=56 $35 shipped
RockandorRoll Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 thank you all, very helpful Also Speakerbits have some options incase anyone runs into this again PMG might be a go here
petng Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 The pmg model is $35 second hand from me. Not new from pmg. Cheers
rocky500 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Try and get one with an aluminum plate or anything that is non magnetic like petng has mentioned. I had a cheapy ebay one and my MC cartrige weight was not changing as it was sticking to the plate. Ended up using the top off the milk bottle to get some distance between that cart and plate.

alittlewino Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I did some tests on a (then) $13 posted cheapy digital from DealExtreme and posted my findings in post #s 96 and 105 here http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.php?/topic/35099-stylus-tracking-pressure-guage/page-4
