Tracking Force Gauges
Update: I just ordered one of these based on the comments here. I will let you know how it measures against my 1/100ths gram Winds after it arrives. Even if it's not perfect, once the "correct" weight is determined, the user can repeat that perfect setting anytime. That's the real value of any stylus force gauge, repeatability in very fine increments. |
There are times when friends in my group want to borrow a stylus force gauge. The last time I loaned out my WInds, it was gone for a week and a half. If this $95.00 unit is good, and I have no reason to believe it will not be, it is the gauge I will loan out. It's also the gauge I will carry, along with my LP's and tools when I go help friends with TT set up. Here where I live, there is an unlimited supply of clowns that love to stop in the middle of the freeway for no apparent reason. To avoid a collision, that bag of necessary goods is thrown across the vehicle, stopping against whatever is hard enough to break the fall. The good news? The WInds will be home in the cabinet where it belongs. |
Hey Zaikes, click Here to see your next president from the Lone Star State. Or were you referring to Dwight D. Eisenhower? |
I received my gauge from Singapore as well. I am completely satisfied with it's appearance and construction for the low sum of $95.00 delivered. Tomorrow night is music night, we plan on testing two or three different stylus force gauges, once the Walker is warmed up. Lloyd Walker himself will be here in a few days, I plan on getting his opinion too. For those that did not read my earlier post, I have the 1/100ths gram version of the Winds for reference. |
