What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII

I'm using a Simaudio Moon LP5.3, and just changed the resistive loading from 100ohms to 10ohms. This seems to have balanced out the frequency response from being somewhat tipped-up in the treble, to a better balance with the mids and bass. I'm just curious to see what others are doing in similar circumstances.

Thanks,

Dan,
I too have the XX2 Mk II and have the loading set at 40 Ohms. Ralph Karsten (Atamasphere) provided a technical method of determining the loading using a function generator and an oscilloscope, and I found that with the loading set below 30 ohms, the signal began to be attenuated. Do you experience a drop in volume at that level?

Mike

The correct loading makes an amazing difference, doesn't it? FWIW your loading is almost exactly what I measured using Atmasphere's method.
Enjoy!
Mike
