Yup, I checked the booklet that came with the stylus... said 3 to 5 grams.
I checked various sites on this subject as well; for my stylus the
concensus was 4 to 5 grams.
As far as the anti-skating... both the booklet and the sites said to have it
set to 0, which I do... plus my AS dial only goes to 3. Could this be a
problem?
