Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C

^ I agree.......I have followed pretty much everything JCarr has stated in other forums about loading and all I can attest is my listening experience is much better for it.
The part that I focus on is that your LOMC should not be tasked to work so hard that it stiffens compliance, I can't see any good from that.

Unless you like buying a new cart sooner, much sooner, than normal.

@catcher10:  " stiffens compliance "?, you or any one but the cartridge designer can change cartridge compliance, certainly load can't do it.

Dear @almarg : My " worry " here is not whom is rigth but more if things are pratically to any one of us, if we can do a easy as to load impedance changes. Normally cable manufacturers does not gives cable capacitance. I put the KK example but if you go to Audience ( OP cables. ) you can find out nothing.

Many times you can't know the ps fixed capacitance and the ones that comes with capacitive loading switch this works only when using MM but not when LOMC.

Ok, what's the problem to tame the peak ( as you said. ) loading at 100 ohms?

In the times of that TAS LOMC cartridges evaluations the specific cartridge loading never was associated to capacitance .

The advise is almost useless because we don't have or can have control on it to make any kind of changes about.

The cable manufacturers does not give the capacitance value but the tonearm manufacturers neither with the tonearm internal wires.

I don't think that that kind of advice from your part is of any help but only making more " noise " in the audiophile minds.

I always read your posts because always have very good contributions but for me not this time .

Now, always is good to have contributions as the wyn one. Don't you think?
I'm not technical oriented at your level but I always try to make things in the best way and in an easy way because at the end what I and we want is to enjoy the MUSIC and always is system dependent.

Thank you for the nice words, Raul.

As far as the usefulness of an understanding of LOMC capacitive loading is concerned, for one thing it has provided guidance to the OP as to which of the two settings of the capacitive loading switch on his phono stage is likely to provide best results. And that in turn perhaps saves him the trouble of having to evaluate a number of different resistive loading settings twice, once for each of the two capacitance settings.

And the experience reported by Catcher10 certainly serves to illustrate that knowledge of this issue can be helpful to other audiophiles as well.

Finally, while I certainly agree with your concluding statement that...

... I always try to make things in the best way and in an easy way because at the end what I and we want is to enjoy the MUSIC and always is system dependent.

... in a hobby where a lot of audiophiles concern themselves with dubious and unexplainable minutiae such as which way a fuse is oriented an explainable and potentially significant phenomenon such as this seems to me to be a reasonable thing for audiophiles to be aware of.

In any event, thanks again for the nice words.

Wyn, I note the the simple expedient of putting the 2120 Hz filter first has the effect of reducing RF by 50dB at 1MHz at the first device. Is it your view that an additional pole is required?

Thanks!
