Ralph, whether it is only the phonostage that needs loading or also the cartridge is debatable. The general terminology is "cartridge loading". So adding resistors to primary should load and damp the cartridge.
Has anyone tried resistor loading the primary of a MC SUT ?
Hello Friends,
I am trying out an SUT that has an input socket to plug in resistors on the primary side of the winding for loading the cartridge. I normally see resistor loading being done on the secondary side. Has anyone tried using a resistor on the primary and give some impression on the effects it has on the sound ?
