A client is auditioning a phono preamp with a Dynavector XX2 L. While setting it up we determined that the 125 ohm setting was good, after I left the client tried different load settings including 10K, which he liked. This is a bit counterintuitive, as I would have expected this to be extremely bright. Is there a technical reason why this would work?
proper adjusting technique is a must, TT itself can't be adjusted with pure luck
then - next link in chain , calculus for loading impedance and ( if applicable/needed) capacitances are necessary, but only taken as starting point
then ear must decide what alteration is better than starting value

in future - reserve this sort of questions for Da Pub
if needed, we'll open Witch subsection of thread, handy to have
I'm even having polished my Crystal Ball very soon
for some other possible cartridge, why else

why a vendor would have a 10K setting,

Timely thread. I just got a Mani 2 phono stage so I could boost the output to my pre. Having to crank the volume up much higher for a particular source has always bugged me. The Mani 2 has adjustable gain and loading. I changed the gain from 42 dB. to 48 but at an apparent slight loss in SQ. The unit comes with the loading set at 47pF but can be raised or lowered. Will changing the loading affect the gain?
