Ortofon T Force Tracking Force Gauge

The Ortofon stylus gauge is a very simple tool to enable you to set your stylus tracking pressure correctly. This is really important to get secure tracking and prevent damage to your records. Many will know of the T Force gauge, as it is usually shipped with the majority of high fidelity tone arms, be it Wilson Benesch, Naim, SME etc. Unfortunately the stylus pressure dials on many tonearms are notoriously inaccurate. The use of a tracking force guage is a far more accurate method for setting the tracking weight. The Ortofon Tracking Force Gauge is a simple budget device suitable for measuring tracking forces between 0.8g (8mN) and 3.0g (30mN).

Users wanting more exacting tracking force control should consider upgrading to the Shure SFG-2.
