DIY phono loading plugs question


What value resistor (?) would I need to create a 100 ohm phono loading plug for my cartridge? My Ayon Polaris 3 preamp uses RCA plugs for cartridge loading.  I've got some RCA plugs ready and now just need to figure out what value resistors I would need to solder into the plugs to get to 100 ohms.

Thanks for the responses guys.  I think the Ayon Polaris III's loading without any plugs is 47kohms so i will purchase some 100 ohm resistors to make the plugs.
I purchased a pair of Vishay VAR (I think they're called "naked") resistors and put them into a pair of expensive Furutech 102R RCA plugs.  Only got to compare them for a few songs, but I'm hearing a lower noise floor compared to my old plugs.  Thanks for everyone's help
