May not be a problem, but the Yamaha's MC section is set @ a "fixed" 50 ohms (100 ohms is the recommended load for the Denon).

Yamaha as-3000 with Denon dL-103R low output MC cartridges
Hi all,
I own Yamaha as-3000, and I planned to buy Denon dl-103r low output MC cartridge to listen to vocals.
My concern is that can As-3000’s built-in mc phono stage put dl-103r to it’s fully potential or not.
any advises?
thank you.

Vuth...: No, it may sound fine with the 50 ohm fixed load, but then you will not be able to experiment with other loads (you did mention "full potential"). Considering how positively the phono section of your amp is reviewed, and that it has enough gain, I would give it a go (and I'm not a gambler). Perhaps it's possible to increase the load via cable choice and/or another method if you wish to experiment? Anyone want to chime in on this? DeKay |
OK: Here's a brief discussion of loading on this particular cartridge... https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=89580 It seems that 100 ohm and above is preferred (as for the sound to not be too sterile/bright), but I again ask if this can be adjusted by the cable choice (meaning the cable from the TT to the amplifier)? Anyone care to chime in on this phono cable question? DeKay |
Here's an article that may help... I had the impedance reversed as a lower value will usually sound warmer (less bright). It looks as if the cable (capacitance) is not that important with moving coil cartridges. https://www.mysonic.space/phono-cartridge-impedance-loading DeKay |
