Benz Micro M2 loading

"The better the cart. the lower the loading."

I don't know where you heard that but it is definitely not true. Loading has to do with electrical resonance damping and cannot be systematically approached even on the basis of impedance matching. Some designers would even say the opposite in that if the cartridge needs to be electrically damped it isn't designed properly. Of course, that's one extreme opinion. Your new Goldfinger is a high output, high impedance design that will not do well with a low load impedance.

Jandrese9882,

What was "not right" about 1k? That or there abouts ought to work.

I've also heard 25 times, which puts it at about 600, but neither are necessarily
so. Where did you get the 24 ohm spec? I thought it was higher.

Ok i will try a higher impedance tomorrow. I was going by the manual and it states 47 ohms. The tests for the Golfinger was done at 38 ohms from the manufacturer.
