Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp
Your target for mechanical resonance is between 7-12Hz. The mechanical resonance is a product of the mass of the cartridge in the arm vs the compliance of the cantilever of the cartridge. Changing the load from 47K to 100 Ohms can easily get you ...

@rauliruegas  Please calm down, PLEASE! This is a discussion forum, everyone is entitle to share their opinion and knowledge. If you disagree with somebody's responses, you're entitled to counter response! Why not be a gentleman and stop name c... 
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp
What the load resistor does is three things: it detunes the resonant peak I mentioned earlier, thus eliminating the RFI and it causes the cantilever to be stiffer, possibly reducing the ability to trace high frequencies and certainly affecting th... 
BAT Preamp Output Design Changes - Why?
BAT preamp output coupled with capacitor design always suffered low frequency roll-off if driving low impedance load. I think this is the main reason they moved back to using output transformer, so their preamp can be compatible with more power am... 
Audio Research Ref 75 SE: Replace 20A IEC inlet with 15A

Tone arm plug in RCA cable?
In the last “option 3” example: Does one use a specific type of wire? (Like a specific thin silver?) Which company peddles the DIN plugs ? This is the link: decibelhifi.com.au They should be able to answer your questions.

@mofojo  You're very welcome! Have you consider fixing it? a new one (mk2) cost $6k and use one goes for $3k!

The options I have are as follows: 47K, 1K, 560R, 470R, 100R, and 47R. There are three more options worth experiments: 257R (560R+470R) 322R (1K+470R) 362R (1K+560R)    
Tone arm plug in RCA cable?
Let stirring up the pot😁 Another option Tonearm Cable (TAC) Adaptor   Option 2 Rewire the tonearm and extend the wire to a junction box ( PIB ), so OP can try different ICs. Option 3 Rewire the tonearm with RCA cable.  
Tone arm plug in RCA cable?
Is there any meaningful sonic advantage in going direct from DIN to phono stage? (I think in the past it was mostly a PITA to get the cable into the phonostage without jostling the TT.) Theoretically, less break in the signal chain is better an...
