Gain setting on Rega Aura with Apheta 3

Try both but Rega recommends the switch is out (not pressed in) at the 69.5dB gain for any of the Rega MC carts...Ania, Apheta, and Aphelion cartridges. I use this setting on my Aura for the Aphelion 2.

Rega also recommends load at 100ohm as bobsdevices points out.

Thank you for your input. Although through internet searching I’m reading both. Best I guess is for me try both and see where I like it. So far the higher gain gets me closer to cd line volume. 

Gain 1 is 69.5 dB,  Gain 2 is 63.5 dB.  The Apheta 3 has an output of .35mV.   The best choice would be Gain 2.  You should set the impedance load to 100.
