Hello all!
On my U-Turn Orbit Plus, I recently installed an OM10 stylus (not the Super, just the basic one) on my OM5E cartridge body, after reading here and elsewhere that the OM line styli are interchangable for the most part. My question arising out of this is one of tracking force.
On Ortofon’s website, the OM5E with its corresponding stylus is listed as having an tracking force range of 1.5g to 2g with a recommended of 1.75g. The OM10 stylus on the other hand is listed as 1.25g to 1.75g with a recommended of 1.5g.
So, with these numbers, how should I set my VTF? Should I follow the OM5E range or the OM10 one? I went ahead, perhaps uselessly, with setting the VTF (using a digital gauge) to 1.5g (the OM10 stylus revommended). Was this a mistake?
Thanks in advance for y’all’s help / I am happy to provide more info.
