FWIW I'm loading my Zyx Airy 3 at 100 ohms. I would trust my ears and not worry too much about what others are doing as all systems are different. Listen and have fun.
Loading my XYZ 3-S ??
Greetings all
I have a XYZ 3-S which is driving a pair of S&B TX-103 transformers, into a Atma-Sphere MP-3 pre-amp. I have the transformer set at 26-db gain. I was running them without any loading resistors (107 ohms load), till I read that Doug Deacon has his loaded at 7.2 ohm.
I installed a pair of 3.3K into the pre-amp after the transforms, the sound because much more organic, but I seem to have lost a lot of the highs, and need to turn the volume control up more to get the same loudness out of my speakers.
Question?
Do I have the cartridge over dampened or am I just use to listening to the cartridge under-dampened?
