Dynavector Cartridge Load 100ohms or 47k ohms?

I have a Rogue audio Stealth phono preamp and a Dynavector 17d2 cart. The recommended load on the cartridge is >100ohms. My dealer said in he likes the 47k ohms setting better than 100. It does have a greater sign on the recommended (>100 ohms, not = 100 ohms) -- any experience with this.

Ultimately I'll try them all out but wanted ideas.

Also is tweaking with the gain usefull or should I just go by Rogue audios recommendations

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

A very informative thread as I have similar issues with my Benz Micro Glider M2. What did you do to solve the brightness caused by your room?

Hi Terry,

After much experimentation, I have tamed the flutter echo by placing auralex foam in the corners and side, back walls in certain places.

But that is a temporary solution. It seems to kill the sound a bit as well. I am now looking into purchasing Michael Green's room tunes. I believe they will do a much better job based on different feedback that I have read.

So, I guess I haven't really solved the problem yet, but I did get rid of the brightness for the time being, enough to realize that the 47k ohm setting was not the problem.

Thanks Rob! I may have some brightness problems caused by my room due to uncovered windows. Its not excessive and I've often wondered whether it is the 47k ohm setting (no adjustment available) in my Plinius 9200 combined with the moving coil Glider M2 or a slight reflection off the windows. There are no flutter echos in the room.
