FWIW, I don't get too caught up in getting an exact VTF setting. IMHO, it is more about getting the correct combined setting of VTA and VTF taking into consideration the thickness of the record. I've always considered VTA to be the most important of the two and have often adjusted the VTF to effect a minor change in the VTA. I can more easily hear small changes in VTA than I ever have in VTF.
what is the problem with too much tracking force?
I have a Lyra Delos on a Michell Tecnodec. The dealer set it up for me. 2 years later, I would like to learn to do this myself. I bought the MOFI Geo Disc alignment tool, a digital stylus scale, a powerful magnifier, and an ultrasonic stylus cleaner. I am ready to up my game with my vinyl hobby. I was on the sidelines too long!
The first thing I did was to weigh the VTF with the scale with my table set up as it has been for a couple of years. It came in at 1.95g. The Lyra documentation suggests 1.75, so clearly I am tracking too heavy. Before I correct this, what is the issue? Is there something I should look for when I change it to 1.75?
Any advice before I do this adjustment would be much appreciated!
