Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The riverstone solves all these problems, at a very affordable price point (one third of the very similar ortofon-branded product) at only $30 this thing is a steal. If you have a moving coil this really is your best chance to get it right on the chea... Read More

Be sure to watch the youtube video before using it or attaching the side pan. This is exactly what i needed, no more guessing or being “ close enough’. Easy to use, just follow the instructions.

Riverside stylus tracking force gauge is a great tool to have for setting the correct weight on your turntable stylus. One advantage is that unlike similar products, it can measure beyond 4 grams, which i needed for a heavy mono tone arm that i own. U... Read More

It's a little tricky to attach the extension arm over the scale, but once you figure it out it becomes easier. Great for those static arms. It can also be used without the stylus extension to weigh other things.

Cons

The only positive aspect is the low weighing point 3 mm above its base, everything else is just garbage! The platform is a bit fiddly when setting up and it's not the kind of scale one would feel comfortable leaving open beside their turntable.

It seems that electrically, this switch is not properly de-bounced. It’s too expensive, too fiddley, and just a hassle.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Easy to assemble and easy to use had to redial my tonearm was off a bit in grams made a big difference a must have product

It makes it easier for the adjustments to be made

After calibration with the 5g mass the results would fluctuate between 4 and 5 grams and would only stabilize after a reset

Ive had a number of stylus tracking force measurement devices over the years and few seemed truly designed for the task the way this one is

Price

Plus its a tremendous value for the money

Either way it works just as it should and the price is entirely reasonable

I have found this one to be right on the money every time

Im writing one review for these two items as these were tandem necessities for my new manual turntable

Shipping

Riverstone quickly responded to my issue and sent a new unit which has worked flawlessly

Nevertheless so straight forward once u read the instructions

It comes with a 3 year warranty so i contacted the seller and received an immediate response informing me that they are sending... Read More

Packaging/appearance

It is packaged well and you can tell they took extra care when packing it up

The package comes in a nice box with a reference weight and an adapter to lower the measuring surface to the height of the aver... Read More

Just the packaging a wonderful tin box with dense foam inserts and clearly written documentation covering every possible use ca... Read More

Sealed package to ensure it has not been tampered with and factory calibration is intact

Competitiveness

I highly recommend this over any other scale and i have owned a few

I had an inferior brand that was never accurate

So accuracy cannot be better than that as any 34systematic error34 is added to indicate 34accuracy34

But again overkill is much better than lack of detail and kudos for that to the maker and marketers
