loading impedance

I have a zyx r1000 cartridge, per the manufacture's web page, the recommended load is >100 ohms ( I would think there should be a exact # that the phono section should be set to). The preamp that I have is adjustable (with some effort). What should the impedance be set in the phono section? I have heard some complicated methods of checking impedance of cartridge etc. How does it affect sonic characteristics if I were to change from a 600ohm to 100ohm resister?

You have to take into account the electrical characteristics of the tonearm cable and interconnects used when setting the loading characteristics inside the phono stage. As Vvrinc stated, this may take some trial and error testing to see what works best in your system. Sean
