Dear @daveyf : This is a " little " diferent point of view of M.Huber designer and owner of FM Acoustics about MC loading:

just download the data sheet information at the end of the page.
His unit is a unique design.
According that that loading of the Etna Lamda at 50K says the design problem that Manley unit has as any other phono stage design where the owners needs that kind of loading values to achieve a decent sound reproduction.
In my system unit that just does not happens and that’s why I never need to use that kind of loading figure. I tested it and that's why I said that.
