Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?)

Hi Everyone,

As I continue to proceed down the sinkhole that is Analog Audio.  I was checking the specs on the Cartridge and they specify a range of .3g as what is right.

Me being really analytical and obsessed with what is right, where should one start on setting their VTF to?  I split the baby in the middle and added .15g to the min and have it had it that way since. But now I am thinking should i move it up or move it down?  What should i hear with over and under proper value tracking force?

Thanks as always for the help,

K

"...There is no cartridge that has a VTF as low as a .3 gram tracking force. You must be reading the instructions wrong!..."

I think he left off the one, 1.3 to 1.6 for a Soundsmith Voice cart. That's with the very best matching arm. My go-to tracking force always ends up at 2.0 grams back in my day.
