Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?)


Hi Everyone,

As I continue to proceed down the sinkhole that is Analog Audio.  I was checking the specs on the Cartridge and they specify a range of .3g as what is right.

Me being really analytical and obsessed with what is right, where should one start on setting their VTF to?  I split the baby in the middle and added .15g to the min and have it had it that way since. But now I am thinking should i move it up or move it down?  What should i hear with over and under proper value tracking force?

Thanks as always for the help,

K

There is no ‘right’ IMO, other than being in the range provided by the manufacturer. Set it where it sounds and tracks best within the manufacturer’s recommended range.

I will almost always start at the min. tracking force, and increase it if necessary, or, per other users suggestion of a particular cartridge.
