Tracking Force


Is it ok to track heavy ? My grado specs @ 1.5 , I have it set at 3 to keep it from launching off the hilly one's and it seems a bit harsh with the highs @ 1.5. I have a Vintage Pioneer PL 41.

By "hilly ones" I assume you mean warped. If it were me, I'd keep the VTF at a more reasonable setting and find a better copy of those warped LPs. You may not be hurting the records but you are squashing the life out of the cartridge's suspension. That can't sound as good as it should and it may shorten the cart's lifespan.
