Get a couple rca y adapters (2fmale to 1 male) and some cheap rca connectors from radio shack. Make yourself a few load plug ins by soldering resistors onto the connectors and the y adapter will put them in parallel with the input. This is a cheap fast way to sample different loading. Use good resistors. If you find something you like you can fashion something more permanent or just use the jig. There's no hard and fast rule its different with every cart, pre, system, combo.
MC loading at 47K
Hi All,
Just after some expert advice from your good selves if I may. My current system is as follows:
Musical Fidelity KW550 intergrated amp which has a MM and MC section, both loaded at 47K. The only difference between them is the step up voltage.
My turntable is the Rega P9 with Ortofon Kontrapunkt A.
Looking at changing my cartridge but honestly cant decide between MM or MC.
My music taste are as follows:
Reggae
Soul
Female Vocal
RNB
No classical or jazz.
So what should I choose based I'm only limited to a 47K loading. I was thinking either of the below:
1. Ortofon Jubilee (MC)
2. Ortofon 2M black (MM)
3. Clear Audio Maestro (MM)
Is there a down side to loading up a MC so much?
Thoughts please...thanks
