Setting to Recommended Tracking Weight Is Wrong

I have found that I rarely if ever use the recommended tracking-weight anymore because it must really be adjusted by ear.It is therefore actually incorrect to tell someone or give out,a strict figure for tracking-weight.It will fall within a particular range but will be different for each case.I am always adjusting that paper-clip on TWL's mod.Possibly with each record.

Amen brothers!

Another variable is room temperature. At CES (in the Alexis Park) where you leave the doors open to the outside, it's like the difference between indoor and outdoor tennis.

As the day wore on and the temperature shifted upwards by a good 10 degrees (Farenheit) or so, we'd bump the tracking force on our ZYX Universe by about .05 grams.

Makes a difference on a cartridge like this !

Yes Dgad, tracking force goes down as temperatures rise.

I don't know how to type. Sorry for the confusion.
