I found the L2 Woodbody to work fine into a 1:10 SUT feeding a 47K load. This is effectively a 470 ohm load on the cartridge. If I were using the L2 directly into a preamp, I would start with 470 or 500 ohms.

I've recently picked up a CAT SL-1 Sig for my pre, but my analog set-up seems to lack a certain snap or emotional impact. I'm newly trying analog again and wonder if the certrdige loading may be an issue. I've got plenty of gain, that's for sure. But since I bought the SL-1 used, I don't have an array of loading plugs, and would like some feedback on what to try and buy from CAT. The analog set-up is a SOTA Sapphire w/OL Silver arm and the Benz cart. Any thoughts?
