@4krowme--probably "diminishing"--
my issue with this is who supplies the info for optimal torque- the cartridge maker? Is this a spec that is commonly made available for different cartridges/arms? I don't recall seeing that, but apart from a Kuzma 4 Pt. 9, I haven't bought a new tone arm in a while. I tighten "just enough" and have a sense of what that is-- how does one apply this to such precise measured activity without relevant data?
