Sony PS-X555ES tracking force 0.5-2.2g only possible...
« on: September 26, 2020, 02:55:47 PM »
...... instead of default 0.5-2.5g

Potentiometer is checked and not faulty. Both display indicator and real weight show the same.

Anybody knows what's wrong?

Are you running the factory cart or something aftermarket?   Perhaps the original was lighter?

Yes but it used to be like this since several years and it was fine until now.

Various but it happens on every cart I put on.
