Sumiko Blackbird Tracking Force please help


Hello,
I had my cart set up by a dealer. I have a VPI scout and I purcahsed a digital tracking force gauge. The recommended tracking force according to Sumiko for the Blackbird cart is 1.8 to 2.0g and my cart measures at 1.67g. If I am not experiencing any skipping issues do I need to raise the VTF?

Definitely think you would benefit by trying different settings for the VTF. I have found that some cartirdges sound better at the high end of the range while others sound good at the low end. Personally, I prefer settings closer to the high end or even outside the high end of the range with my setup. A little experimenting will go a long way. Have fun and trust your ears.
