How many grams weight for mm cartridge?


I have Denon dp-45f TT with MM cartirdge. What is ideal standard weight I should start with? It came with 1.7 grams but I remember my father used to use only .5 gram for his TT. Please enlighten me...

I don’t know guys where are you looking for Grace specs, but go on vinyl engine and check scan of the original grace manual for all models (except Ruby). There is a chart in comparison on page 2 for all of them with tracking force range from 0,5 to 2g for those top f9 models.
@chakster...there are actually (2) pdf’s on Vinyl Engine. The first one, (Farsch) says 1.2 grams across the board, except for the F9P which is 2.5 grams.

The second pdf, (Alec124c41) shows the .5 to 2.0 range.

I have the actual owners manual from the F9E cartridge box and it says 1.2 grams, no range. I also just checked my dealer binder for Grace and it also says 1.2 grams. I have a pdf of the actual owners manual I can send.

Not sure when Grace changed the info, but again, .5 grams is way loo light for the F9 series of carts.
Thank you so much for all those responded - you guys are a great source of intelligent info! 
  
  I don't know much about cartridges as you must have guessed.
I bought the Denon TT used and the guy said the cartridge is Shure V type that is pretty old design. I don't have manufacturer's recommendation so I will just leave it at 1.7 grams then - it sounded better than .5 grams.

Would be nice to know the exact Shure model you have. Most of the V15 type series, (II, III or IV) track best around 1.25 and some of the replacement styli for these track best at 1.50 grams.

If it happens to be a V15 VxMR, then 1.7 would be just about right.
