Stylus pressure setting


What stylus pressure should I use for an Ortofon 30H mounted on a SME Series III arm?  Is 1 gram sufficient?  The turntable is a Thorens TD 124 if that's relevant.

It's called VTF. 1g is recommended per web search. Turntable doesn't matter, arm doesn't either.

Thanks for the tip, MC, now I remember vertical tracking force. I’m a Roon guy who rarely spins anything anymore, but the Thorens with SME arm is a handsome icon atop my equipment rack.  And it sounds good playing expensive LPs, and even my old Capital FDS and Westminster Labs.
