Miyajima Lab Zero Specs?


Miyjima's web site is frugal with the specifications for its cartridges. Does anyone know the suggested resistance and capacitance for the Zero?

The coil impedance for the Miyajima Zero Mono is 6 ohms and the recommended loading is 200 to 300 ohms, I prefer mine at 300 ohms rather than 200 but your tastes may differ. The Zero can be a bear fro hum so make sure your system has either a mono switch (as the hum is usually thereby cancelled) or a ground lift option. I also got best results from a step up -- a MusicFirst Audio Classic V2 with 1:10 ratio and 80K to 10K parallel load options resulting in between 100-500 ohms seen by the cartridge. Load capacitance is generally not an issue for moving coils so I've never seen specs on this.
