Anyone with a cartridge required to track greater than 2.0 g in this day and age should have his/her head examined.
Tracking Force?
I have a Clearaudio Concept turntable (about 7-8 months now). Beautiful piece of work. It was bought already factory setup. In 50years of buying records I have only had three turntables and never really bothered too much about doing my own setups.
Last week I bought digital scales for measuring tracking force.
In the Technical details in the manual it states Tracking Force as 2.2 g(+/- 0.2g)
When I placed the scale on platter and lowered the tonearm it read out 3.8.
My thoughts now are: should I alter, that is, tamper with this? OR Should I trust and go with the factory setup?
