Hey!

   I have the first ACE version of the high output. According to the manual....

 Recommended tracking force: 1.7-2.0 grams
 Optimum tracking force: 1.7-1.8 grams.

    I track my at 1.8 grams. Beside the different in output I think tracking force is the same for the "L" also.

   Hope this help.

Take care,

Hey!

    No dimension listed on the manual. But it does mention recommended VTA of 20 degrees.

    I don't have fancy microscope, so I did it by ears, listening to the detail in the high and etc. at the end it looks close to the recommended 20* and I can see the stylus is slightly leaning forward... not sure if it is perfect 92* but I'm sure is very close to that.

    This is something I don't want to do often because adjusting the VTA on my arm is a pain to with it's locking collar type with small Allen screw  :icon_lol: Well, I think it sounds fine now.

Take care,
