We all know, or certainly we all should know, that dialling in your correct tracking force is absolutely essential for optimal record playback. If you miss on the heavy side, your sound becomes thick and sluggish. Miss on the light side, and your cartridge is more likely to mis-track and the sound will be light and could damage your valuable records So, stop messing with those mechanical stylus balances that aren’t even accurate.
