Hello, I am wondering what exactly do you mean by this: On my Basis 'gold 2009' I can use only 480 Ohm or 1000 Ohm. Clearly you have a very wide range of choices in terms of input impedance settings by choosing from the formula provided in the manual or by combining the values of 2+ dip switches to come up with your own value the formula on how to do this is also mentioned in the manual.
Generally speaking, 5x to 10x the coil impendence of the phono cartridge is the range youre most likely to find the perfect balance. Perhaps, 20x might be too high of a setting.
There isnt a hard and fast rule because there is a lot of interaction between the phono cable, phonostage, cartridge and turntable. Anyway, try lower settings, it may be worth a try. Ultimately, your ears do need to be the final judge of how you like a specific loading and that depends on the synergy and your own personal taste.
