Axelwahl, You originally asked about inductance, not impedance. This naturally led some people to ask why you wanted that information, since the proper loading of your cartridge is easiest to calculate based on the square of its turns ratio of the SUT you are using, if you know the desired load. For example, if you want the cartridge to "see" a 100-ohm load (a reasonable guess for a cartidge with a 4-ohm internal impedance, altho I know the Ortofon likes to see a higher value), and if your SUT has a turns ratio of 10:1, then the proper value of the load resistor on the secondary side of the SUT is 10,000 ohms. (The square of the turns ratio = 10^2 = 100; 100*100 ohms (the desired load) = 10,000 ohms.) If you want the Ortofon to see 500 ohms, then you need a 50K ohm load resistor. Maybe you know all this, but the fact remains that inductance of the cartridge is not needed to make this calculation. Folks were trying to help you.
The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?
What (on earth) is the correct internal-inductance of the Ortofon Peer Windfeld cartridge?
They made a mistake in the brochure about the loading impedance: it says >10k but should read >10 ohms. This was admitted by the factory's techies.
The brochure also says internal-inductance: 700 mH !!!
This you would expect from an MM cart. Was this also a factor 1 000 error? I can not find ANY help on the web to clear this up. Can any one help?
