Ortofon DS-1 Stylus Force Gauge from Needle Doctor Sweepstakes

Register to win a Ortofon DS-1 Stylus Force Gauge from Needle Doctor (MSRP $159.00) we are giving away.

According to the company:

The DS-1 is manufactured in Japan, and is among the most accurate stylus force gauges available today.  Offering a reading up to 0.1, the DS-1 allows the user to carefully dial in the designated tracking force for any phono cartridge.  Safe to use with either MM or MC type cartridges, the DS-1 is as versatile as it comes.

Setting the tracking force of a phono cartridge accurately goes a long way in how good your vinyl rig will sound.  Folks can even taylor the sort of sound they prefer by making slight adjustments either way.  

The DS-1 helps take the pain out of turntable set up by offering a spot-on reading instantaneously.  It's among the easiest and most important tools for your vinyl toolbox!
