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

Ahh so run in groove pop is good?  People’s comments are right the recommended range is 1.3 to 1.6 and it is a new cart.  I have been working on aligning it properly (mostly happy but Ocd has me check over and over).

listening last night it opened up after about three sides of music and measuring at about 1.5xx on my river stone electronic scale.

Thanks for the tips, will try to up it to 1.6 and then go down from there.  The POP is not crazy loud, just louder than my previous cartridge.  Both are MM types.

Went from Clear Audio Virtuoso (used) to a NOS Voice.
