....or even better, track at the cartridge manufacturer's recommended
weight! The specs for most carts are available online.

Most magnetic carts track somewhere between 1-5 - 3.5g.
The damage caused by tracking weight set too low comes from the tip
rattling about in the upper part of the 'groove' and bouncing off the
groove walls, instead of following a proper path in good contact with
each side.
