You NEVER use a tracking force higher than mfr.'s recommendation; and I don't
think any good cartridge goes that high these days. Yes, it's a good idea to
work at the upper end of the RECOMMENDED tracking range.
The recommended range for tracking force on the Stanton cartridge I'm
using is 2-5 grams. I've increased the tracking force to 4g as per
the earlier poster's recommendation (and also tweaked the anti-skating
adjustment by a corresponding amount as per the manufacturer's
recommendation). I haven't heard any "buzz" since then but I haven't
played with it enough yet to be able to say definitively whether or
not it's helped my problem. It looks good so far though.
To the original poster: If you don't know what you're doing w/ Lp playback, get
someone who does.
Let's try to maintain some perspective. I'm not engaged in
professional remastering work. I'm simply trying to transfer 100 or so
of my LP's to CD getting the best results I can with the software and
tools I have available. I just want to reduce the "buzz". "...get
someone who does" is why I came here looking for advice in the first
place. If you have some tips to help me identify and eliminate the
buzz, I'd love to hear them!
