USB Digitil microscope advice


Are the cheapo $30 ebay devices good enough for cartridge set up?

 

Or am I missing something and the more expensive offerings necessary?

 

Any specific ones you likey?

 

Thx

It's the quality of the stand as much as that of the 'scope. It has to be rock steady if you are to get images that aren't blurred. A heavy chemistry lab stand and flask clamp are as good as anything, and better than the flimsy stands that generally come with cheap microscopes. I bought the Dino-Lite stand, but even that isn't what I'd like to see.

At the end of it all, I went back to fine-tuning VTA by ear. What does it matter if I get an exact SRA of 92.5° if it sounds better at some other position?
