Phono cartridge torque wrench

Thanks to all for your responses. It is definitely an everything matters OCD issue. I don’t know if there are any published specifications. I think that it may matter whether the torque is equal, rather than the actual number, as long as it is in the reasonable range.

I just purchased a new cartridge which made me think about the very small differences, and how much they matter, when dealing with highly resolving components.

Thanks again for your comments

Jim,

  This sort of thing is overlooked in all kinds ways in daily life. Just look at the spelling, punctuation online. That's one thing but when it comes to things that matter most like maybe the safety on a gun or the actual trigger pull, then it becomes incredibly different.
 Not that I torque every screw or bolt that I drive but I am cognoscente  when I do, not over driving, yet the force must be sufficient to the job. In some cases, it is just as important that each connector is turned a bit at a time in a pattern that will optimize final result. This was discussed earlier in this thread. This thinking can go on and on depending on the importance of the results.
 BTW, I have a new cartridge coming too, and will be wondering about ALL kinds of things, each on a different axis.

Hurry up there's only 11 left in stock!
