Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2

Terrific!!!

Great sound at 100 Ohms guys!
Many Thanks !

This is the best cart I have had so far.

After some additional time at 100 ohms, I was wondering if moving up to 150 or 200 may create a more balanced frequency response, since as nice at it is currently performing, presentation leans towards the high frequency end - bass is OK, but I am sure there is a little more "juice" there.

Please advise.

If you increase the loading to a higher value over 100 ohms, then the higher frequency signals will even favour more in terms of dB output level.

I advise you compare the two settings of 50 ohms with 150 ohms, side by side and report back with further results.

Flg2001: I agree with Xlr8or (based on what you said re: balance toward high frequency) and therefore want to revise my original recommendations.

I would start lower, maybe as low as 40 ohms or sufficiently low to hear "enough-but-poor-quality-bass." "Enough" means loud enough. "Poor quality" means boomy, muddy, bloated. Then add resistance just 10 ohms at a time (because your range from lowest to highest is so small) until the bass tightens up but still maintains good volume level. That's where you want to be.

OK - will try at 50 Ohms first and post my findings, TXS!
