An essential instrument for turntable
afficianados / Helps eliminate mistracking, excessive record &
stylus wear, and poor sound. The Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking
Force Gauge is a simple-to-use measuring device that has become the
industry standard. The device was developed to give listeners a way to
insure against problems caused by improper tracking force settings,
including mistracking, excessive Record
and tip wear, and poor Sound
reproduction. This gauge is a highly accurate beam balance instrument,
designed to measure the actual downward force exerted by a stylus on a
record over the range of 0.5 to 3.0 grams. Each gauge is individually
calibrated, and displays readings in 0.05 gram increments, in order to
provide a precise measurement of stylus tracking force. If you're one of
the few, the proud, the cogniscenti who know Analog still rules the Audio kingdom, the SFG-2 is a tool
you must have!
