DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question

@millercarbon, I pretty much knew the answer when I asked the question. But I had to ask just to make sure.

@chakster  OK I found my Zyx box and spec sheet. It listed >100 ohm which I assume means over 100. I was using the 470 ohm which came with the phono preamp. So I may not need to make any other plugs after all. Preamp (JLTi) came with  100 & 470 ohm plugs. Still. all info appreciated

@chakster I thought you also had the JLTi. I was using the 470 ohm plug which came with mine. I also got a 100 ohm with it. So I may be good

I think you have the later JLTi from Australia. I see Mr Rasmussen has "updated" the JLTI. I’ve wondered if the new one is better? He offers an upgrade of the older ones. Of course, I suspect he will say it is much better than mine. So I haven’t asked him. Do you have any insight?

@chakster @pryso  Since mine didn't come with a 47K plug I figured that was the default loading. I have it switched to high gain. Again with no problems. FWIW both my wife and I liked it better without loading. Bigger  soundstage. The 470ohm plug offers a more focused sound which is somewhat alluring. But speakers do a disappearing act with no loading. Much wider and deeper soundstage.

I bought mine from Jay @ Audio Revelations shortly after the shootout with several other phono preamps, most a lot more expensive. Jay picked up that line shortly thereafter. I didn't buy the OB power supply because the cost was more than the benefit which everyone had said was a tradeoff at best. Thanks for your help Gentlemen. Guess I'll call Joe and check on the upgrade & PS.
