Dynavector XV-1S tracking force issue


The max tracking force is 2.2g. HP and many suggesting tracking it beyond max recommended tracking force ie at abt 2.5-2.6g. Well HP spoke abt it few years ago and some of u posted yr experienced years ago. By now if u have been tracking it way above recommended tracking force U may experience some issue with your catridge or is it a non issue tracking it at above recommended max tracking force. I m interested in real life experience not merely opinion
Just bought myself this catridge and wonder whether I should experiment with higher tracking force. thks

I had an old xv1 and tried the HP 2.6-2.7g tracking. There was nothing special about the sound so I dropped the vtf back to 1.9+g

from experience the XV1s rides best between 1.95-2.1g with
minimal antiskate. Almost no antiskate. I set mine approx 0.6g
