Is there a 3g. anti-skate weight for Graham arms?

Wally M. claimed that the anti-skate weight that comes with the Graham 2.0-2.2 is a bit too heavy at around 6g. He told me that he could get a lighter one from Bob Graham at 3g. Has anyone know if this is true? Wally never sent me my weight. Has anyone found the stock weight to be too heavy, and beyond adjustment?

Go the the source and ask Bob Graham. Good luck.

I have seen a professional setup of the 2.2 where the anti-skate weight was pushed all the way up to the collar (least force), and wondered why. So, I would be interested in this as well. Keep us informed.

Firstly,Bob Graham knows his products,so please don't waste your listening time with this.
Secondly,as to the "professional setup" having the antiskate all the way up the collar,for least force,I'd assume they were NOT professionals,or were compensating for problems elsewhere,in the system.Possibly the cartridge had ZERO weight(just sarcasm,sorry).

It's easy to actually check for accurate antiskate,and the Grahams can be had with a device for this.However if you follow the instructions with the arm,you should be close enough not to waste your mental energy,or time.There are,also,a myriad of test discs that allow for antiskate checking.Hunt one down,or better yet,borrow from a friend.

Best!
