and therefore sounds better than any digital scale on the market regardless of price.

In all seriousness, I have no trouble with the Shure gauge and no desire to try a digital one. The Shure is accurate to 1/10th of a gram from .5 to 1.5 grams and 2/10ths of a gram from 1.5 to 3.0 grams. If you can't live with that range of accuracy, then you need a digital scale.

Personally, I have never been able to hear a difference in a cart by making .1 gram adjustments anyway. I'm sure many will chime in to say that they can hear significant differences when adjusting VTF only .0005 gram, but I bet none of them could do it a statistically meaningful percentage of the time under double blind conditions.
