Hello Ducatirider,
I talked directly with Bob Graham yesterday, (he actually answered the phone) so give it another try. He was on his way to the doctor office so could only talk for a few minutes.
I asked him about the spacers every one is talking about here and he said it really didn't matter if you use it or not other than it is being used with lighter cartridges.
My post about my problem is wrong on my last reply. I am having an issue with anti-skating and not VTA. I use the Denon test record for setting anti-skating. On track 10, about center of the record the track starts to distort on the left speaker before the right speaker. I make adjustments to the anti-skating, but have found that I am at the end or furthest away. The distortion is still off to the left but I cannot make it correct. The noise should come from both speakers at the same time. Bob suggested I increase my tracking weight. The Koetsu settings are 1.8 to 2.0 and I am at 1.95.
WhatÂ’s bothering me is Bob said I can go up to 3 to 3.4 grams. I am very nervous about setting a $4500.00 cartridge at a higher tracking force than recommended by the manufacturer. I could break the cantilever and be shit out of luck.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
I did not have this problem with the 2.2.
Thanks.
