Vertical tracking force for Lyra etna lambda sl catridge


I have the Lyra etna lambda sl catridge mounted on a sme series v arm on a sme 30/2 table .
the recommended vtf is 1.62-1.72 gms. To me it sounds better with vtf of 1.8-1.9 gms. Will I be harming the needle by using a higher than recommended vtf.
thank you in advance to all vinyls gurus for ur advice .

no you won't hurt the cartridge.....perhaps your scale is off?,   always use your ears.
