I did use a protractor and am playing at 1.75 or 2 grams. Its a curious thing, the RB300 I'm using never requres any anti-saking. (I've had about 4 Planar 3's in the past that have needed it - about the same as the tracking weight, so I suspected at one point the arm may be iffy). I've read reviews of this cart sounding clinical and lacking in bass, its jsut suprising I prefer their cheaper elektra!! Anything else anyone thinks I could do to improve this?
