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.

So we have here an " instant  repetition " of those take aways that at the end are really usless because every one already owns what they own.

Maybe, another " instant repetition " is in order for really slower brains ( stupid. ). Go a head.
@cather10 Thanks for the encouragement. I like the PII very much and think I will live with it at least until I upgrade my tonearm. I had been running the Hana at 475 Ohms and 56 dB until I read this thread this morning. Then I put on the cans and did some listening and am going to try 100K Ohms for a while and see what it's like to live with that. Now here's where I show my lack of expertise. I haven't been able to measure my phono cable's capacitance. My multimeter just reads 0.0 F, even though it has a uF range. Neither have I been able to track down the capacitance per foot of the Cardas 4x24 connecting the arm to the PII. 

@atmasphere , I am not sure of the implications of your statements as they regard my set-up, unless it's that the PII has a stable circuit. I hope.
Thanks for all the sharing!  
@2channel8 well if you have been running at 475 ohms then I can only assume you have a low cap cable. If you had a high cap cable I have a feeling you would hear the difference.
You should find out though, email the cable mfg and ask them. Let us know what 100K ohms does for you.....I have never tried that high of a setting on my Nova II
Well, IC designers would generally consider an amplifier circuit that has a section with a 35dB resonance to be pathological- that is, basically a problem waiting to happen- unless, of course, the goal really is to produce an oscillator, or at least a marginally stable system. All it takes is a small amount of unwanted feedback due to parasitics - resistance in the ground, inductive coupling or capacitive- anything could do it- from a point where there’s enough gain and phase shift back to the resonance and all sorts of nasty things can happen. So, even though we can model all of these effects to a degree that the non-practitioner would consider to be near magical (yes, we can do EM simulations for complete circuits that are much more complex than an opamp, and capacitive/parasitic resistance runs are entirely routine) we generally choose, just for good practice, to eliminate any such effects as a matter of priority. Just try getting something like that through a design review.
Seemingly, the practice in audio design is somewhat different.
