pickering cartriidge xv 15 any good.

It’s so funny, but as i can see someone is very sensitive to my words and always report moderator for abusive content, ok you will get the same in return and we will see how it works. 

I just got a vintage Empire 598 turntable with a Pickering XV-15/750E cart. I run into a McIntosh c2700 tube pre that will only let me set the loading to 250pf or 300pf but not the 275pf in the cart specs. Not sure how to set this? I can also go even higher 350/400 and up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
 

Advice: choose 250 or 300pF and decide which you like best. Then forget about it. Odds are you won’t hear much difference.
