Review on 🎛️ Graphite Riverstone Audio Record-Level Stylus Tracking Force Gauge/Scale with 0.005g Precision, Measures VTF at Optimal LP Record Level Height (2 mm to 3 mm) by Issac Burnett

The turntable is an old portable music system dating back to 1878 that requires thousands of fine adjustments to sound right. But when it's checked, your Stone Age player will sound better than anything that can play digital! The Riverstone Audio Gauge is the Caddalic of cartridge gauges. I was very impressed just looking at the aluminum box 📦 it came in. Then I opened it. What impressed me about this device is: a) build quality; b) design. It has a metal tab that goes through a small device that allows you to measure the needle pressure in real time, as if it were on a vinyl record---Great! Your Mark I 'Eyeball' was designed for seeing things from a distance, ogling strippers and playing video games - they were never designed to take measurements and simply cannot be trusted to take any form of precise measurement , such as B. setting the VTA manually. Turn the counterbalance to zero, then set the anti-skating to some sort of false chart, then balance the tonearm until it levitates! Not on my Mobile Fidelity reports you don't have! My Denon DL160 MC cartridge takes 1.3-1.9 grams but after dancing with Mark I eyeballs my table (Linn Basil + SystemDek IIx) showed 2.3 grams once perfectly balanced and tuned. It would muddle the audio and share my priceless recordings! FYI I have the $1500 Mobile Fidelity Beatles Box Set (used) and you don't. And what could I cut these records into pieces for? Price for five frappechino coffees? If you care about music and you're broke, go bleed and pay Riverstone Audio their $25.00 Blood Money 💰. So you feel dizzy from the blood loss and your arm hurts. SO WHAT! Your artist 👩‍🎨 suffered while you were making your LP - it's right that you suffer a bit to really hear it 👂! I swear by this caliber and the Amazone. For $25 you have no excuse!
