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!!

I have the Benz Glider Gold and regarding @Blackdoghifi on loading recommendations, the Benz do like higher loading. I have found 1K to work the best after running through other lower options using my Fosgate Signature phono amp. Try them all but I’ll bet you will find the 1K to sound best.
