Load Settings Help: Luxman E-250 and Koetsu Black Line

Hi Folks, I could do with some help as I don't understand load impedance or capacitance settings.  

I have a Luxman E-250 for my phono stage which is connected to a Michell Gyro SE with a Tecnoarm 2 and a Koetsu Black gold line cartridge mounted on the arm.  This all feeds a C900u and a M10x. 

The settings on the E-250 are default but I feel there is more to be had with the sound based on some other similar setups i've heard.  Could I get some recommendations on load settings?

@viridian Thank you.  I completely missed that on this preamp.  I'll have a play with the options at the front to test what sounds best

Thank you all for your help.  Clearly i've got some more reading and testing to do.  If that doesn't work out I'll be on the search for a new preamp.

Some quick testing, setup sounds best (for my ears at least) on 100K.  Sound is pretty neutral, lacking some low weight on some tracks/records.  

I like the tone of the cartridge and i'm pretty set on it, does anyone have alternative recommendations for a preamp to match the cart?

Quick update. I noticed my tonearm was not level leading to the cartridge not being ideal for playback.  After leveling and correcting anti skate 47KOhms sounds best.  Thank you all for your help
