Can you give an example of a low MC cart that 'works' well with 47k?
MC cart loading with 47k; why do some work well?
Hi,
has anyone got a technical explanation for the 'fact' that some MCs work so well (best?) with no loading other than 'standard' 47k input impedance of phono-pre's?
e.g.
1) Is it something to do with the cart construction?
2) Is it the RIAA implementation of the phono-pre?
3) Is it a combination of 1) and 2)?
I know there have been statements of reknown reviewers, that it's something 'wrong' with your hearing / preference. And that no MC can every sound its best at 47k, etc.
Yet, the other 'side' can be heard, stating: The better the cart (MC) the less loading needed...
However, in the same system one MC sounds VERY wrong with 47k, (usually best at 100 - 500 ohm) yet another sounds 'best' at 47k...
My question is to find out some technical underlying reasons, and not to open a controversy over listening preferences, if at all possible.
Thanks,
Axel
