Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question


Guys anyone here has any experience with the Pass XP-17 settings for Hana ML?

I just switched form Pass XP-15 to 17 and its totally different animal. 

Just to compare them both with the gain set at 66db and loading 333ohm they act completely different, while 15 gets maximum bottom and fantastic detail 17 sounds great at the top and the midrange but bottom needs improvement.  Would anyone run 47K ohm?

I have a Hana ML, which I've had for a few years and used in OL Silver and now The Encounter, loaded - as always - at 47k (well, unloaded). And it sounds fantastic. 

If you hear static when playing music, get some static spray. I clean my equipment - especially in the dry, winter months -  with Nordost's ECO spray, but I bet a supermarket static spray for clothes might be a decent alternative.

Winter's dry here in the DC area (and Connecticut, where I'm from,  but I don't know if you're in a dry area that causes static. Is static normal for you to experience in your home during winter months ?

Ralph, I just want to thank you for all your input, especially around cartridge loading. There is so much wrong information floating around.
