Aluminium Stroboscope Disc 10cm
Records over the years have been cut at many different speeds. Originally, they were cut at '78 RPM' or speeds around that value. Later the industry decided to cut all records at 33 ½ or 45 RPM. For speech recordings even slower speeds were used in order to increase the amount of time recorded on each side of the record: 16 ½ and 8 ½ RPM. Of course you want to enjoy a recording at the correct tempo, but sometimes record players do not play at the proper speed and need adjusting. For that purpose Tonar now offers an Aluminium stroboscope disc of 10 cm diameter with the speeds 8 ½, 16 ½, 33 ½, 45 and 78 RPM.

Atlas MK2 Tracking Force Gauge
The Rega Atlas Tracking Force Gauge MK2 is designed to be easy to use, consistent and exceptionally accurate. Our engineers have meticulously selected each component to offer the highest possible performance. The Atlas was born out of frustration having used so many outsourced gauges in our tonearm production areas over the years for them to consistently fail after minimal use. The re-designed MK2 version now offers a much wider weight range to deal with the more extreme cartridges on the market (up to 10g). Our engineers have also improved stability and sensitivity to ensure total accuracy every time.

Developed by Ortofon, the Premium Libelle is engineered to deliver precise horizontal alignment for your turntable. It provides a full 360-degree overview with 1-degree precision, allowing you to fine-tune your setup with absolute confidence. Precise levelling is essential for optimal tonearm performance; it ensures accurate tracking, reduces distortion, and minimises unnecessary record and stylus wear.
This is a basic tool for the measuring of cartridge tracking force weight and alignment. Setting up the tracking force of a pre-installed cartridge on a Pro-Ject deck is a very simple process. Simply place the stylus tip on the desired weight, then move the tonearm counterweight forward and backward on the back of the tonearm until the protractor is level (it is pivoted like a see-saw in the middle). Key Features: Simple yet effective turntable tool Measures tracking force and cartridge alignment Supplied with a range of Pro-Ject turntables

For setting up and checking the optimum position of the tonearm on your turntable.
The Ortofon tracking force gauge is a simple budget tool for turntables that is used to determine the stylus tracking force. The tracking force is the downward pressure that is applied by the weight of the tonearm through the cartridge stylus and onto the vinyl record. It is important to set the proper tracking force in order to maximize the playback performance and to reduce the risk of mistracking or causing excessive record wear. Check for the manufacturers recommended settings for your stylus tracking force. The Ortofon tracking force gauge tool is a small plastic pivot type scale that will accurately measure tracking force between 1.25g and 4g.
Maximise your turntable's sound and performance with the Pro-Ject test record. This versatile tool optimises all aspects, including channel identification, tracking ability, azimuth, and VTA, making it the perfect adjustment tool for your turntable, tonearm, and cartridge configuration.
