Vertical tracking force for Lyra etna lambda sl catridge

newtoncr : or ( a big or. ) a phono stage or loaded phono stage that can't honor the cartridge very top quality levels.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say ? 

no you won't hurt the cartridge.....perhaps your scale is off?,   always use your ears.

@newtoncr... what rauliruegas is trying to say is run it within specs no matter what. I don’t 100% agree with that as it seems the V runs a bit “light” for a Lyra cart. I think I read somewhere that J Carr even recommended a dab of blue tack to the tone arm to accommodate? I have no idea how much. Anyway, yes, it is possible the overall numbers are not calibrated 100% on the tone arm, but running the Lyra at 1.8-ish isn’t going to hurt it. Regarding the VTA, the lines running down the center of the tone arm are what you use to measure. Start at “level” and play with it up or down, see what sounds best. Mine, as measured with the alignment tool, is about 1mm lower measured front to back. The lower edge of the tone arm is approx 3mm from the record edge with a 150 record. Which are pretty much SME “specs”. This seems to be a nice compromise for thicker and thinner records.

Dear @newtoncr : That you are wrong with that set up and that just forgeret about those " professionals " you mentioned and put in touch directly with the only gentleman that can help you: J.Carr Lyra designer.

Btw, @geof3 the OP cartridge and the V is spot on: 10hz in the combination frequency resonance.

newtoncr, again put in touch with JC. Btw, a cartridge like the one you own needs around 60-70 hours of playing to settle down and after that playing time hours you need to make the true fine tunning and this means to make a in deep and very carefully overall cartridge/tonearm/TT/phono stage set up according the cartridge needs always inside the Lyra alignment/set up specs.
