I am currently breaking in an SLR Gullwing on a Graham Phantom Supreme and a Pass XP-25 phono stage. The recommended loading according to the specs is 400 - 47K ohms. I am currently running mine at 1000 ohms and that seems to be a good load. Cart is not too bright nor too damped.
Benz Micro Gullwing loading
I have just purchased an Einstein Turntable's Choice single-ended phono section. I replaced an Audio Research PH3SE because it had a fixed 54 db of gain and is not enough for my new Gullwing SLR at. 35 mv. The Einstein has a fixed 68 db which, along with the 12 db gain of my Audio Research Ref 3 should be enough.
My question, though, relates to the loading of the cartridge. From what I have seen, 400 is the recommended loading for this cartridge. The Einstein has several different single-ended inputs available, but the highest is 300. Will that suffice or does one need to build his own input that will allow 400?
Thanks in advance for your input.
