Additional Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Information
|
For deejays and others dedicated to the sound of vinyl. The Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge is the industry standard for turntables. This simple-to-use measuring device was developed to give listeners a way to insure against the problems caused by improper tracking force settings, which include 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.

What Customers Say About Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge:
|
|
With a moving coil cartridge, not only would the results be extremely inaccurate, but there is a strong risk of damaging the cartridge irreparably. Perhaps this is why Shure sells this - they do not make moving coil cartridges. As mentioned in (surprisingly) only one review, this device is magnetic. I've had one for many years and only noticed this when I tried it with a moving coil cartridge.
DO not get tricked into buying as a package or accessories to a record player. This contraption is highly specialized DJ, turntable apparatus. DO NOT buy unless you have used this before.
Unfortunately, the only alternatives are much more expensive digital stylus gauges. I returned it immediately.I am surprised that Shure would manufacture something that has such an obvious flaw which defeats the very purpose of the device. This stylus gauge is made of plated steel which is magnetic. It is attracted to the cartridge magnet and therefore useless.
I would like to try a digital one now and see how I like it. It works but is cheaply made. I don't know how good it is.
Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge With this scale you get the best sound of each record.
