The importance of setting up a turntable correctly is only appreciated by those who have completed this task. Until then you just do not know what you are missing.
The Cartridge Man Digital Stylus Force gauge is a precision tool, that will allow you to set and then fine tune the tracking weight of your cartridge so you get the best possible experience from your vinyl collection.
What's more if you change cartridges regularly then this allows you to easily repeat the exact weight you last played your cartridge at time and time again.
With a resolution of 0.02g, the Digital Stylus Force Gauge will allow you to set a cartridge at 1.58g or 2.14g with ease.
It's hard to justify this sort of expense to someone with a cheap turntable and a handful of records. But as in the current market a £2000 TT/arm/cartridge combo is seen as mid-market it starts to make a lot more sense to try and get the best out of your investment - and prolong stylus life. Used in conjunction with the HFNRR test record you have all the tools needed to set up a turntable system to perfection. ALL professionals/shops should own these. If someone comes to set up your megabuck turntable and doesn't have them ask why not - it's like a doctor without a stethoscope. TNT-Audio
Essential for all professionals who regularly set up decks either for customers or within their own premises.
