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.

BTW- I have this option/feature on my phono/pre.

Input capacitance to 100pF or 570pF,

What should I be set at?
Did you read my earlier posts?

I see that the Koru provides two selections for input capacitance, namely 100 pf and 570 pf. You are likely to find that the 100 pf setting will allow you to use lighter loading (i.e., higher resistance values) than the 570 pf setting.... [And quoting Lyra cartridge designer Jonathan Carr]:  "Less capacitance allows the resistive load on the cartridge to be reduced [i.e., the number of ohms to be increased], which will benefit dynamic range, resolution and transient impact."

The point, generally speaking, is that minimizing the capacitive load seen by an LOMC cartridge is likely to result in optimal resistive loading being lighter than the resistive load that would be optimal if the capacitive load is higher. And in turn the lighter resistive load is likely to be sonically beneficial.

With regard to the OP’s situation, all I was basically saying is that he is likely to obtain better results using the 100 pf setting of his phono stage rather than the 570 pf setting, assuming that he optimizes the resistive loading that is used with the 100 pf setting by listening.

Sorry Almarg...I've been trying to wrap my brain around loading and gain...
Rearding input capacitance....I have 100pf and 570 pf....just not sure how to change or where its even at.
I took a look at the manual, which can be found at the Plinius site. On page 11 (pdf page 13) it can be seen that the capacitance switch is to the left of the resistive loading switches, and appears to be identified as switch "1", and it should be set to the "Up" position for 100 pf.

Enjoy! Regards,
