Ortofon OM20 lousy tracking
My dealer installed Ortofon OM20 on my Rega RB300 tonearm and according to my electronic scale, the VTF is set at 1.92 grams. The cartridge plays very nicely on the first track of any LP, but as soon as it reaches the second track, often halfway through, it starts mis-tracking, the sound becomes distorted, and it gets stuck in the loop.
Is that caused by the excessive VTF? Ortofon recommends 1.25 grams for this cartridge. Should I lower the VTF? What else could be causing this defect?
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?
Alex.
