The Statement has a low inductance not unlike a low output moving coil.
As a result the same rules apply:
If your phono section is unstable you may prefer lower loading settings such as 100 or 500 ohms. But an ideal situation would be 47K; this will allow the stylus to trace the groove with greater ease.
The lower impedance loading is not a requirement of the cartridge; its a requirement of unstable phono sections. The inductance of the cartridge and the capacitance of the phono cable form a resonant circuit which thus injects ultrasonic or RF noise into the preamp. If the preamp is unstable, the noise will cause it to sound wrong (usually bright). The loading resistor detunes the resonant circuit and gets rid of that problem, but forces the cartridge to do a lot more work driving that resistor, which makes the cantilever stiffer.
In addition, if the phono stage is unstable, it will tend to exacerbate ticks and pops, making the LP surfaces generally seem noisier than they really are.
