Can anyone tell me which is the optimal pressure for a Shibata stylus?
I just received my MMC2 from rufurbishing at Axel. I chose the best available option with Shibata stylus, since the price gap was quite reasonable. I was though surprised that Axel suggests a pressure of 1,7 g for it. Seems high concidering the manual of my Beogram 5500 recommends a pressure at 1,0 for MMC2, but maybe that recommendation goes solely for elliptical stylus. Axel says Shibata stylus needs higher pressure to perform its best. I never had a Shibata before. Anyone who has experience of which pressure that sounds best in this case? Can 1,7 g in some way damage the records or the stylus?
