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'm the guy decreasing the load at hi-fi shows and watching the reactions. More open, less constricted and damped. 

In this context, is there any relationship between cartridge bandwidth and cantilever stiffness? It seems that as the load-induced stiffening increases, the more reduced the bandwidth becomes.
