Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C

Are you perhaps stating that the increased current generated by the lower resistive load increases distortion?

No, I was not saying that or implying that. And for that matter I have no particular knowledge of how the distortion performance of phono cartridges tends to vary as a function of load impedance.

Thank you, Wyn. Food for thought - or rather, food for experiment. Another pole means another stage and another pair of complementary devices, so the trade-off is obvious. But next is the amplifiers' turn, so it will have to wait!

Thanks again for your insights.

Dear @krelldog : I posted several times in this thread each one ignorance levels where some people has higher when other lower in this specific subject but additional to that there are all over the world ignorants that additional are in the stupidity are because can't understand that or those or anything on audio.

My attitude is always try to help for any one ( including me. ) trys to low those ignorance levels but I always ignore stupid persons because will never learn.

Dear @almarg : "   I’m truly impressed! ".. With all my respecto to you and other enginners the " best " ones are/were the ones designers inside Analog Devices, B&B/TX, in the past National and so on and Wyn belongs to them.

They made and make only true industry reference designs/items, they write the " standards " about through their work, their first hand experiences  put all them in a league " orders of magnitud " above we  mere mortals. Especially me.

@wynpalmer4  I really hope you can stay with us at Agon. Welcome a board.

@krelldog it's endless thread, good if you learned something, but it's obvious that you can only TRY differend loading to find what YOU like the most, not other people. As been said there is no harm for your cartridge to try whatever loading. If you prefer to read instead of listening then it's very specific way to learn. Practice is more important. This is why it's nonsence to ask what other people like when it comes to loading, simply becase you system does not sound like other people systems. For example you can prefer loading "X" with one amp/speakers and loading "Y" with another amp/speakers.
