Sure, the Ortofon is great, but what does it actually do to deserve 11 times the price?
You will pay a premium just for the name brand.
If this is what one likes, who am I to argue ?

yeah that can happen i gessYes, but I don't do any of that anymore with the Ortofon. I like the Shure SFG-2. If I only used it once in a while, no problem. But when I started needing a scale a lot, I started to hate it.
Got a Neotec digital scale in the mail yesterday...15 bucks Canadian through Amazon. Have yet to try it. One tutorial says that anti skate should be set at zero when checking the tracking force on the scale....anybody want to 'weigh' in on this?
You're going to get a different answer for practically every post.going to start back up with my old vinyl and noticed several types of stylus force gauges out there. Wondering if there are any ones I should avoid or buy. Your experience and comments are appreciated!
I have two of them and both measure exactly like the Shure scale, but are slightly easier to handle.Buy the least expansive digital one you can find - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Professiona...942747?hash=item58f47cd11b:g:T4EAAOSwBLlVLxu9
All those are good enough. mine works and works, and at this price - I wouldn't mine if it stopped, and I'd have to buy a new one...
Interesting. I typically use my SFG-2 a couple times a year, sometimes a bit more if friends or family want me to help them set something up. Maybe that's not often enough to get irritated with it. The Ortofon certainly looks like a handy device, though I do like the more finely marked gradations on the Shure.Yes, but I don't do any of that anymore with the Ortofon. I like the Shure SFG-2.
