DIY phono loading plugs question

http://daveyw.edsstuff.org/vinyl/loading/

this info is for mm carts but the principles are the same and the math is the same

The input impedance of the Polaris III’s phono input when no loading plug is connected does not appear to be specified. I suspect, however, that it is vastly higher than 100 ohms, perhaps 47,000 ohms or even much more. (I note that an input impedance spec of 1,000,000 ohms is stated, which I suspect corresponds to its line-level inputs).

Assuming that is the case (and you might want to confirm that assumption by contacting Ayon), using a 100 ohm resistor would result in a total load impedance that is within a small fraction of an ohm of 100 ohms.

omg i did not realize he was trying to do that to a 47k ohm mm phono section - LOL

well, never mind..... :)
