To add to which it’s not just the cartridge and phono stage but also how the downstream pre deals with HF resonances. Some setups actually like the extra boost you get from a high loading while others are insensitive so you have to try it and see
input impedance load on a cartridge.
I am interested in purchasing an MC cartridge that prefers a 400ohm "load"from the pre amp. My head amp for MC cartridges provides 110ohms which is the highest recommendation for the unit (according to the manual). In theory I should be able to change the resistors to alter the load but I am worried that going beyond the recommended value would harm the pre amp/head amp.
Can I alter the resistors to accommodate the cartridge or should I be looking for a different cartridge (or a different head amp)?
I am particularly interested in the possibility of changing the load. The alternative cart/pre option is of secondary interest.
