Thanks Cleeds, he (Raul) deleted the text from his post where he declared Ralph to be stupid. To me there is no place in this forum for that type of behaviour.

Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp
Hello,
I have recently acquired a phono pre amp recommended by Michael Fremer. It is “THE VINYL”, from QHW audio, Spain. It got a great review. I have a Benz Micro Glider rated at 1.1MV. I have no idea how to set the dip switches for MC Load impedance for this cartridge. The options I have are as follows: 47K, 1K, 560R, 470R, 100R, and 47R. I have a solid state amp and pre-amp, and also have a sub that I use, rarely.
Any advice would be most appreciated!!
Rauli, Ad hominem attacks do not win arguments, in fact once you do that you've lost the argument no matter the merits of your point. At this point in the discussion the only way to win the argument is with data that proves your point. Conjecture, opinion and assertion won't cut it any longer. Make a design of experiment that will produce a data set that will prove one side or the other; it shouldn't be too difficult to do within a well equipped audio lab. I think the results would be interesting and probably really surprising to all involved. |
Dear @fundsgon : So you agree that 47k is standard for LOMC since appeared as is in the MM/MI cartridges ? How on earth did you infer that I agree that 47k is standard for anything? Certainly not in my previous post. |
How does one safely send a square wave through a cartridge? Just curious as I have no intention of trying it. So I have a Cadenza Black mounted on a VPI printed tone arm, on a VPI Classic 3 table. My previous phono pre was a Zesto Andros 1.2. With that one, when I dialed the resistance much past 400Ohms the sound became somewhat shrill and screechy. If I recall at 1000 Ohms and above it was unlistenable to my ears. Down below 100O the soundstage collapsed My current phono pre is a PS Audio stellar with which I can easily flip between 100 and 47k Ohms using the remote. There appears to be no significant difference between the two settings - maybe a bit more extension at the extremes, but difficult to tell during my short listening session. That extension I hear is probably expectation bias. The obvious difference between the Zestos and PS Audio as loading changes is clear as a bell.
