There are the so called ''10x and 20x'' cart impedance rules.
In the user manual of my Klyne 7PX 3.5 there are recomended
loads for 26 '''well known'' carts ; the most 47 K the rest 1 K (9x).
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.
