Dear @lewm : """
could excite a force that feeds back on the motion of the cantilever so as to dampen or impede it. """
Could be but I doubt it that could " impede it ". What you said is not related to the loading resistor that's what atmasphere supports alonfg its effects/? ? ?.
Now a cartridge designer/manufacturer takes in count all the elctrical and mechanical scenarios where the cartridge plays its role and seems to me that everything is really claculated witgh " wide " limits for the different play role scenarios due that the cartridge needs/must will performs good in such different scenarios. I don't rthink that in a good top cartridge design we can find out " surprises ".
In theory and due that a LOMC cartridge has a very low inductance the impedance loading ( resistor ) just can't modified ( electrically. ) the cartridge behavior. Instead in the mechanical scenario/land several and different parameters affects and has effects on the cartridge quality performance levels.The " dull " sound that some one posted when the cartridge is loaded with 100 ohms in reality is not a " dull " sound and what happened is that with that kind of load ( tha's the one I use. ) the SPL goes a little ( tiny ) lower and our ears are extremely sensitive with SPL changes especially at HF but the information is all there and even cleaner that at 47kohms.
I attested that effect with different phono stages in many audio systems including mine.
As time goes on what atmasphere said has lower and lower and les " credibility " especially with out evidence by his part and taking in count the many first hand experiences we have that showed that things are the other way around.
You or intactaudio and other gentlemans as me are not true rookies in analog audio, we know for sure many audio main and critical subjects and if some one or something is out of the normal behavior/experiences then I want to learn two things: first if I'm wrong with all what I learned about or second to confirm that what I learned is rigth. Tha's all.
So we have to wait for the atmasphere precise and specific answer. We will see.
