Miyajima Lab Zero Specs?


Miyjima's web site is frugal with the specifications for its cartridges. Does anyone know the suggested resistance and capacitance for the Zero?

I would try both but suspect that between phono cables and SUT is the most appropriate place.

The coil impedance for the Miyajima Zero Mono is 6 ohms and the recommended loading is 200 to 300 ohms, I prefer mine at 300 ohms rather than 200 but your tastes may differ. The Zero can be a bear fro hum so make sure your system has either a mono switch (as the hum is usually thereby cancelled) or a ground lift option. I also got best results from a step up -- a MusicFirst Audio Classic V2 with 1:10 ratio and 80K to 10K parallel load options resulting in between 100-500 ohms seen by the cartridge. Load capacitance is generally not an issue for moving coils so I've never seen specs on this.

I realize that I am late to the party here but, for future reference I believe this needs to be addressed. 

Folkfreak1, I'm not quite sure where you get your loading numbers for the Zero, realizing that Miyajima, not at all unlike many other cartridge manufacturers does not make it easy and just thoughtfully list the loading for their products right on the website under specs but, from what I see with their many distributors about the planet, a loading of 100 Ω is actually what most all are presenting as recommended...
