Stylus force digital scales


Digital scales from Clearaudio and others range from $200-500. Amazon has 'em for $20. Why cant I use one of these instead and save big bucks?

I was setting up my clear-audio with a Steve Blinn Digital and ended up with better results using the clear-audio included manual gauge. Go figure like Jinpitsburgh said.
Beautiful! If you are fond of contemporary products I'd advise checking the following link: http://www.medicalexpo.com/medical-manufacturer/platform-scale-608.html. Hope you enjoy it!
The Winds ALM 01 is the best good to 100th of a gram.I once had a $50.00 one it was junk it depends on how good a table,arm and cart you have.
I very much agree that the Shure scale is good enough. After getting the VTF in the "ballpark", you should experiment with a little more, and a little less to find the optimum for your cartridge. All that Dougdeacon said is "golden", ...I have an electronic scale, but its really not needed.
The Audio Additives gauge from Music Direct reads to three decimal places. I have found it to be accurate and consistent. It appears well made(china) and is only 79.99. Another benefit, battery requirements are triple A's not the high dollar watch type batteries.
