Vertical tracking force for Lyra etna lambda sl catridge

I have the Lyra etna lambda sl catridge mounted on a sme series v arm on a sme 30/2 table .
the recommended vtf is 1.62-1.72 gms. To me it sounds better with vtf of 1.8-1.9 gms. Will I be harming the needle by using a higher than recommended vtf.
thank you in advance to all vinyls gurus for ur advice .

Nope, for better (pun intended) or worse, I’ve done everything myself thus far.

Possible I suppose, but not well explained. I meant slanted down from back to front, and I think you know what I meant as well.

  “arm base higher than headshell...”
Really? Is that even possible?
