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 .

The Lyra and especially the Lamda have in essence preload applied with zero tracking force to help w coil alignment, my Delos sounds best at the top of the range and still does after breakin. Revisit scale accuracy and break it in within spec and revisit.

Jcarr on this site might respond to questions and if you are in USA Audioquest certainly will.

congrats on a fine cartridge, enjoy the music
