Neoteck Upgraded Digital Turntable Stylus Force Scale Gauge 0.01g/5.00g with Orange LCD Backlight and 5g Weight for Tonearm Phono Cartridge

Used on my Audiotechnica TT and was simple to use and calibrated my TT and it works well.

My only complaint (and it is so minor that I didn't take a way ANY stars) is that the cover is a little hard to pull off before use. I think it will "loosen up" with usage, but even if it doesn't, this is a great product at a great price. Like I said, a VERY minor quibble ; )I have been using a Shure mechanical gauge for twenty plus years: this is more accurate and a lot less finicky. Nice storage case, too!

The Neoteck Upgraded Digital Turntable Stylus Force Scale Gauge is a must-have tool for any vinyl enthusiast or audiophile looking to maintain their turntable in peak condition. Absolutely necessary if you change cartridges. After using it, I was impressed with its ease of use, precision, and thoughtful design.Pros:Accurate Measurements: The scale provides highly accurate readings, ensuring that the stylus pressure is set correctly. This is essential for preserving records and getting the best sound quality from your turntable.Easy to Use: The device is straightforward to operate, with clear instructions and a user-friendly digital display. It’s ready to use out of the box, and the calibration process is simple thanks to the included calibration weight.Compact and Portable: The sleek, lightweight design makes it easy to store or carry, which is great if you own multiple turntables or assist others with setups.Durable Construction: The build quality feels solid, with a non-magnetic surface that ensures accuracy by preventing interference with the stylus.Bonus Features: The inclusion of a backlit display is a great touch, making it easy to use in low-light environments.Cons:Battery Requirement: It runs on button cell batteries (CR2032), which may not be as convenient as AA or AAA batteries for some users. However, the included battery is a nice bonus.Limited Compatibility with Some Tonearms: In rare cases, the height of the scale may not accommodate certain turntables or tonearms without adjustments.Overall, the Neoteck Digital Stylus Force Gauge is an excellent tool for ensuring optimal tracking force on your turntable. Its precision and reliability make it a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about vinyl playback. Recommended.

The protective cover over the scale bed was a little hard to get off, but it works really well. It only took a couple of minutes to get my turntable dialed in completely. It's definitely worth the low price to have piece of mind knowing I'm not damaging my vinyl collection. Highly recommend. Would have been 5 stars if the cover wasn't overly tight, it works great now that I shaved down the tabs on it a tiny bit.

Works and is accurate

This stylus tracking force scale gauge is very well built, user-friendly. The supplied tiny 5g weight serves scale adjustment to the precise. Digital display is sharp and clear, powered by a button 2032 battery which I prefer over AA/AAA batteries. Shipping was fast!

The removable cover was a very tight fit, so I sanded the internal tabs with an emery board and it opens more easily now. I tested the accuracy with a set of calibration weights and it was never more than 0.01 grams off, and was usually spot on.

I wanted a stylus force gauge to make calibrating my tonearm easier and picked this one because I liked the orange colorway and it was cheap. Big mistake! This thing is absolute junk; the only quality here is the CR2032 battery included, which I guess you could use to resuscitate and old motherboard if you wanted. The protective scale cover and battery cover are incredibly tight and take great force to open--I had to open the battery cover with my teeth. The scale measures incorrectly (about half to two thirds of the actual value) unless calibrated with the included weight every time it is used. The value when nothing is on kept wandering between -0.1g and +0.1g even if you repeatedly press the tare button to reset it. But worst of all is the hinge-like (but not an actual hinge) connection between the scale assembly and the main body of the device, which is absurdly fragile and bends at the slightest touch. Attempting--very delicately!--to bend it back caused it to snap instantly, rendering the device useless. Do not buy this! Get a traditional analog gauge from a reputable company like Shure that measures accurately and won't break if you look at it funny!
