If however, the preamp is properly designed and is stable with RFI, then the loading resistor will be found to have no effect. Ralph...thank you!  I have always considered myself pretty much an expert on vinyl disk systems, but I never knew tha... 
input impedance load on a cartridge.
Generally, if you're loading at X ohms and its sounds a bit dull/lifeless/bass heavy that way, try higher loading to get it to even out a bit. Alternatively, if you're loading at Y ohms and its sounds a bit too sparkly/tinny/HF heavy, then try ...

Negligable or... important? No.  I'd leave it as is and see how it sounds.  Absolutely will not hurt anything.

Outside of doing harm to the components, would there be any detrimental effect on the sound if I were to go outside of the manufacturers recommended specs? No.  Just as analogluvr stated above, sometimes you just need to try it and listen.Also,... 
How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ?

In theory I should be able to change the resistors to alter the load but I am worried that going beyond the recommended value would harm the pre amp/head amp. I've never heard of this kind of change ever harming a preamp or head amp.  All you ...

Calling all Schiit Freya owners: question about amplifier pairing and heat problems.
I’m from the old school that says you should never stack gear. It creates more heat and also can lead to more noise in the system.I would maybe give Jason or Mike a call or email and see if this normal. IMHO, he will probably tell you the same thi...
