Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed.

Hello! I hope you are all doing well!

I just purchased a new phono pre amp.

I have an older Benz micro glider moving coil cart with 1.1 mv output.

The pre amp has gain of 45db (mm) up to 65bd (mc).

Load settings for moving coil are: 10, 22, 47, 100, 220,  470, 1k, 22k, 47k.

I know that I should listen for myself to determine the best setting. But can someone with more experience than myself give me a range within which to start based on having used gliders in their systems?

 

Thanks !

I've owned a Benz glider. 100-200 ohms is sufficient loading.

Not to hijack this fine thread... I wish someone could, in a new thread explain why in the heck phase inversion is used in the first place.  I have a system full of CJ equipment and it gets confusing about weather to flip the speaker wires or not..

Thanks for the extended explanation!

At the end of the day it's the call of the designers of the particular equipment!
