Krell KRC-HR and Marantz TT15S1

Hello,

I have a Krell KRC HR preamplifier with built in KPE Standard phono board. This can accept both MM and MC cartridges. I also have a Marantz TT15S1 turntable equipped with a MM cartridge.

My question is ...

What internal setting should I put the KPE on to make it work correctly with the MM cartridge. I know Krell basically has one setting that works for this type of cartridge where a MC cartridge has multiple settings available.

Thanks,

Ed

I know MM must be selected on the MM/MC switch bank for starters. But how about the load setting switch bank? What value should be selected?

I've set the loading to 47k ohms but it sounds very weak in terms of musical depth and clarity. I know MM doesn't have nearly as much gain as MC so you have to crank the volume quiet a bit. But it's also the only setting that works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
