Audio Additives - Digital Stylus Force Gauge

Audio Additives Digital Stylus Force Gauge Makes Measuring Tracking Force Easy: Get Maximum Performance from Your Phono Cartridge

Able to measure tracking force down to 0.001 of a gram, the Audio Additives Digital Stylus Force Gauge is one of the most accurate gauges on the market. This essential tool will help you get enhanced performance from your phono cartridge and help protect it from unnecessary wear. Housed in a non-magnetic metal case and powered by AAA batteries, the gauge features a user-friendly touchscreen interface, large display, and cradle weight on which you place your stylus/tonearm. We recommend that you check your stylus force every season, as temperature and humidity can alter the results. A must-have for anyone who spins LPs.
