Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question

Of course, try 47K; nothing is going to blow up. But it’s most likely that the difference in sonic character between 15 and 17 is due to circuit differences, not load.

Yes, circuits are diametrically different that is a fact, but loading the cartridge should have same effect on cartridge performance , sound of it at least on the dynamic level should be similar to the loads on 15 at least in the characteristic of the sound. what I'm getting on same load is half of bottom end. Does it make sense to you ??

As Atmasphere is fond of reminding us, the phono load resistor is for the phono stage. Anyway, in my personal experience of playing with load resistors, the value makes very little difference. Of course, there are others who have had contrary results. So try it and let us know.
