I found my 1968 Hi-Fi Sound test LP (£1.30 -new!) I've settled on a tracking force of 1.61g and I increased my anti-skating to 2g equivalent.
Yet to bother too much with the SRA. The arm is still a little down at the tail/pivot end.
Thanks everyone.

I use my 2M black at about 1.6g VTF but no anti skate. I use a uni pivot so never felt need for it.
You may find a bit more background on this thread.

Thanks---35 pages----wow. I seem to be on the right lines re the Black's brilliance and my set-up.Originally Posted by Jimbo
...mind you, I do like tinkering. I'll try the 'no bias' (AS) setting later but I don't think the test LP will approve as I found I need to increase the AS setting to ensure equal distortion from the modulated grooves on both L&R channels.
