What tracking force for Shure V15lll?

Correction, I checked on cartridgedb. They don't specifically list the MR version, but the V15 III all seem to be around .75 - 1.25 gm. Sorry

I owned that cartridge back in the 70's, I beleive at that time I got the best results with 1.5-1.75 gram range.

Howdy Viridian,
I own 2 Shure V-15 Type III Cartridges, and directly from the factory booket that came with this Cartridge, VTF is recommended fro. .75gm to 1.25gm.

Typically, I'd usually set my own at 1.2gm, as at the lighter settings, mine seemed to get quite woolly, and not play at it's best. Tracking seemed to go to hell in a handbasket, at least with my tonearm-table combination I was using at the time. Your mileage may vary slightly, and with a good high quality arm, and Solid table, you may be able to use the factory recommended settings to good effect.

I'd also like to add that these specs were no doubt for the VN35E Stylus, so I don't know of specs were changed for the later, and I understand better MR? (Micro Ridge Version)

If there's any other info you'd like to know about the Type III, just give a holler, as I have the spec booklet here, and can give you any spec for this cartridge.

I'm sorry Viridian, I made an error in my last reply, as I meant to say that I used to set tracking on my V-15 at 1.5gm, not 1.2gm.
