Lets talk about VTF

72.143.206.57

The VTF of my cart. Is 1.8-2.2 gms. I set it up at 2.0 gms. Mid platter. When I move the spot in different locations, the readings change by plus or minus .007. That's 1.93-2.07 gms. Should I be concern? Am I looking at a future bearing problem on my tonearm? Are the numbers I gave acceptable? Horizontal and vertical movement seems to be very good on the arm. I don't feel any resistance at all.
Correction: .07 is what I meant. Thanks John Elison

Did you remove anti-skate? That may affect the VTF reading across the platter (nt) - 13th Duke of Wymbourne 14:43:13 05/9/22 ( 0)

I don't think it is an issue at all. - viridian 10:16:53 05/9/22 ( 3)
