What we liked
- + Measures tracking force 2 to 3 mm above the mat, near the height of a record surface, for a truer reading
- + Strain-gauge sensor with 0.005 g resolution and multi-point factory calibration
- + Non-magnetic housing and extension arm limit interaction with MM and MC cartridges, plus a 3-year warranty
Trade-offs
- - Roughly two to three times the price of the basic 0.01 g gauges in this guide
- - The detachable extension arm is one more small part to fit and keep track of
