Benz Ruby 3s impedance loading

According to Scheafer from ASR (Basis Excl.) 10x the imp.
of the cart. According to some others 20x the impedance,
according to some 'other others':'use your ears'. On my
Basis 'gold 2009' I can use only 480 Ohm or 1000 Ohm .But I
am not satisfied with either. I.e. the Benz LP is regarded as an 'top cart' but the only difference between them is the wood. Btw I prefer the Phase Tech P-3G,an much cheaper
cart.Some 'light'or 'enlightenment will be much appreciated.

nandric

Dear Nandric: I just try a Ruby 3 from an audio friend and I loaded at 100 ohms that is lower than the manufacturer advise o the subject. Runs very good but I don't have the time to test it with different load impedance.
Seems to me that you have to try yours with lower impedance value that the ones you already tested and that do not like you. In the other side ( I don't have enough experience with ) maybe it needs more play time as Stringreen suggest or maybe a different tonearm or set up: VTF/VTA/SRA/AZ.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
