A resistor question for CAT SL-1...help needed
Hello. I have a question about resistor values and what I should be looking for to perform this modification. I don't have the rca phono loading plugs that came with the unit so I'm attempting to make my own.
I need to add a couple of resistors to my preamp phono section (CAT SL-1) to match my cartridge output of 100 ohms (Shelter 501 Mk II, low-output mc). I'm confused about what value I should get. My preamp is currently set for 47K ohms which is not the recommended setting for my cartridge.
I'm looking to experiment with values of 100 ohms to 1000 ohms but I don't know what resistor watt value to buy...ie, 1/4 watt, 1/2 watt, etc. Also, what tolerance should I get...ie, 1%, 2%, 5%, etc.
Your help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks much!!
