Description
The Clearaudio Balance is an accessory dedicated to adjusting the tracking force of a cartridge, an essential operation for the proper functioning of a turntable. It allows precise measurement of the pressure exerted by the stylus on the record, a parameter that directly affects sound quality and the longevity of both the groove and the cartridge.
This tool is part of a range of adjustment accessories produced by Clearaudio, a manufacturer recognised for its turntables and precision components. The source sheet does not detail specific technical specifications for this model, but its function remains clear: to provide a reliable means of verifying that the tracking force applied matches the recommendations of the cartridge manufacturer.
This scale is aimed at audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts keen to properly maintain their turntable, as well as anyone installing or replacing a cartridge. Precise tracking force adjustment prevents premature wear of the record and stylus, while ensuring faithful sound reproduction.
What to check before buying used
When buying used, it is worth checking that the scale displays stable and consistent readings, without drift or mechanical play that could distort the measurement. A calibration check, if the tool allows for one, remains the best guarantee of a reliable adjustment before use on a cartridge.
