Poor sound.
Increased wear.

Too little will result is mistracking, which may sound like a buzzing
distortion. Too much will push the coils in the cartridge out of its
linear range, and compress the suspension leading to assorted problems,
maybe a dull muted sound.

Why ?

The poor sod's posting from Oz. Isn't that punishment enough?

I'll take Oz over that cesspool of an island any day. Brit ******s.

But we took it first. Then realised the mistake and gave it away.

You like living in a cast off?

Kurt, I'd just like to point out that this fairy is starting to get the
attention she's wanting and the crafty cow is hooking her replies into at
least three Oz groups - no doubt posting summat like 'watch me wind these
Pom ******* up' or such like......??

(Comes from replying to crossdressing/posting trolls in the first place
dunnit..........???? ;-)

Shag, the last time I was over there it smelled like someone had done
exactly that.

Well, what was a serious question seems to have been hijacked by a
load of kids winding each other up at the back of the class - not what
I expected here - grow up everybody, its not big or clever.

Anyway:

I've got a Rega P3 with an Elys cartridge. I thought it sounded a bit
dull, so tried backing the weight off a little with a positive result
(Ithink). I don't want to ruin the cartridge basically - Rega
recommend a tracking weight of 1.75g, I've got it set at 1.25g, after
initially balancing the arm as best I can. What do you guys think?

Playing through NAD PP2 / C350 by the way.

(Please don't start swearing and winding each other up again over
this).

Yes, yes either all of this or you STUPID ****S could quit wasting
your money and buy SACDs!

Just trying to help my 'mates back in the homeland!

I must comment here.

You just want someone to listen while your wife shags the neighbor.

That's gotta be better than my neighbour shagging my sheep.

I've been finding this ****wit's **** poor attempts at trolling
hysterical.

The poor ******* can't get a bite from anyone.

You did [ and have in the past;-) ].

Not a bite, just an observation on just how loust you are at this.

Come on folks, give some thought to this poor tosser's needs. He's
obviously needs attention but no-one will take the bait.

My hilarity is only tempered by my guilt.

Perhaps your guilt comes from a large part of your time on silliness.

My large part would be dealing with your missus, if you had one you
could keep.

Just thought I'd help out!;-))

Why thank you. I know the very way. Try ****ing off, that's work great.
So kind of you.

Oh dear, you certainly know how to get the best out of people don't you? -
You top-post, you have a stupid 'anonymouse' name, you barge into a
newsgroup (that is only kept alive by a few boisterous scallywags - just so
people like you can drop in once a decade to get a bit of free advice) with
a terse little question and then, failing to see the thread was hijacked by
a troll (how would you know? - you have zero track record in this group),
you then proceed to give us all a bollocking!

Priceless......

I don't know whether to a) simply to tell you to **** off, b) recommend you
post to uk.rec.audio.vinyl or c) ask why do you deliberately override the
manufacturer's recommendation and set your VTF too light?

I'll have a little think about it........

Best way is to get a test record with different level tracks and set the
weight using that. It's pretty obvious when they're mistracking on steady
tone. But most makers figures tend to err on the low side, if anything.
