eBay Digital Stylus Gauge

honinbou · 5th September 2009, 12:40 AM

Hi there,
Has anyone used a Canrong digital gauge before, and how do they rate against a regular Shure manual gauge?

And while searching for digital stylus gauge and digital gauge on eBay I stumbled on this
The price is only one fifth (or less depending your source) of the Canrong and the specs and looks are very similar

The seller is from Australia

I just bid on one so wish me the best of luck.

This one has even better tolerance than the one from Australia!

Shouldn't the weighing platform be on the other side?If you use the platform on the tonearm side you will read numbers up side down with this one.Maybe that's why the price is low?I am using a similar one with platform on the right side and it is very good.I also have a shure,very useful if you run out of batteries on the digital one.Good it works with AAA batteries,the others with button batteries need new ones every 6-8 uses.I would cancel my bid if I were you.

I think I am going to stick with the Shure for now
Hopefully one day I could find a technics gauge
