Load Settings for Dynavector 20XL?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I'm using the battery powered Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena. The Nova is highly configurable, with 13 different gain settings and 17 load settings (for MC).

I used the K&K SE with mine.

What phono stages are you all using with this cartridge? Just got it, and looking to buy the phono stage now. Leaning toward tubes.

Experiment, experiment, experiment...that's part of the fun with vinyl.

Thanks, guys. This is the area of vinyl that I still don't quite get, so I much appreciate the advice!

I settled on 300 ohms on mine after some experimenting.

I think if you look at the specs closely, the ">1000 ohms" part is referencing the requirements for the high output version of the cartridge. The low output cartridge requires loading greater than 30 ohms. I currently have my 20xl set at 121 ohms on my Nova Phonomena and it sounds very good, but I'm still experimenting as well. I would suggest experimenting with the 75, 125 and 250 settings for starters, but I'm sure others with more experience will chime in.
