No harm for your cartridge at whatever loading, you can ignore manufacturer recommendations if you like the sound using different loading. You can start from 47k Ohm to completely unload your cartridge, then you can try 1k and then 100 Ohm or vise-versa.
Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C
I have a Plinius Koru- Here are ADJUSTABLE LOADS-
47k ohms, 22k ohms, 1k ohms, 470 ohms, 220 ohms, 100 ohms, 47 ohms, 22 ohms
I'm about to buy an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze that recommends loading at 50-200 ohms
Will 47 ohms work? Or should I start out at 100 ohms?
I'm obviously not well versed in this...and would love all the help I can get.
Also is there any advantage to buying a phono cartridge that loads exactly where the manufacturer recommends?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
