Stylus pressure setting


What stylus pressure should I use for an Ortofon 30H mounted on a SME Series III arm?  Is 1 gram sufficient?  The turntable is a Thorens TD 124 if that's relevant.

If it is sitting atop a rack then try a set of Nobsound springs. Only $30 and you won't believe the improvement! 

Nobsound come with 7 springs per corner. Usually a turntable will only need 2 to 4. This leaves you with a lot of spare springs. Drill 1/4" holes in some wood or MDF and you can make more. This way you can do 2 components for $30, an unbeatable bargain!

Thanks for the tip, MC, now I remember vertical tracking force. I’m a Roon guy who rarely spins anything anymore, but the Thorens with SME arm is a handsome icon atop my equipment rack.  And it sounds good playing expensive LPs, and even my old Capital FDS and Westminster Labs.

It's called VTF. 1g is recommended per web search. Turntable doesn't matter, arm doesn't either.
