Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua loading

I will be using this cartridge on a Sota Cosmos IV with Helius Omega arm running into a SimAudio LP5.3 with external power supply and Audioquest Sky interconnects. Has anyone had experience with this cartridge and if so, what loading advice do you have.
The cartridge is replacing a Lyra Delos that I ran at 100ohms and 60db gain.

Loading is system dependent ...too many differing factors from system to system to come up with a standard. I use to ask this question when I was new to high-end vinyl playback. I bet somewhere in the 100-400 ohm range would be optimal, but your ears are the best judge. Take your time experimenting.

The loading setting starting point range I mentioned was for active gain. With passive transformer gain, the values would be much lower most likely...30-100 ohms, depending on the transformer.

I have mine at approx 250. It is a good all around setting I feel. Have it on a spiral groove table and arm boulder and soulution electronics. I have gone up to 1000 but it sounds unsteady there. Never under 100 ohms though. I listen to mostly folk, jazz and acoustic. Hope that helps.
