Stylus Gauge advice

The Shure is great, but be warned that some old ones out there are made from a ferrous metal so MC carts may commit suicide in their vicinity by attaching themselves limpet-like to the platform. I've had one of each, and obviously kept the non-ferrous one. I've also got a cheap Chinese digital gauge like this one and it seems to correlate nicely with the Shure.

PS When measuring stylus weight always try to do so exactly at record playing height, i.e. remove the turntable mat if necessary.
