Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question

@ssg308 1000 Ohms is so high a value it can't be affecting the cartridge at audio frequencies at all. So this has to be how the preamp is reacting to RFI.

@atmasphere

I have 2 different phono stages from same manufacturer and they both act different in same configuration of the rest of the gear. they producing best sound with loads between 100-333 ohm and XP17 improves sound up to 1k 

This makes sense. Different designs do act differently when subjected to RFI.

it is what it is, I make it sound te way I like it so I'm not gonna debate anymore why is it like that.

Interested in a Hana ml. I’ve  got an Audible Illudions 3B with the John Curl designed mc stage and fixed 47,000 resistance input . AI says their tests show low output mc’s work better at 47,000, with their design. Base on this thread, I guess I’ll have to just hold my breath if I order an ml !!
