Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question


Guys anyone here has any experience with the Pass XP-17 settings for Hana ML?

I just switched form Pass XP-15 to 17 and its totally different animal. 

Just to compare them both with the gain set at 66db and loading 333ohm they act completely different, while 15 gets maximum bottom and fantastic detail 17 sounds great at the top and the midrange but bottom needs improvement.  Would anyone run 47K ohm?

@ssg308 1000 Ohms is so high a value it can't be affecting the cartridge at audio frequencies at all. So this has to be how the preamp is reacting to RFI.

@atmasphere

I have 2 different phono stages from same manufacturer and they both act different in same configuration of the rest of the gear. they producing best sound with loads between 100-333 ohm and XP17 improves sound up to 1k 

This makes sense. Different designs do act differently when subjected to RFI.

it is what it is, I make it sound te way I like it so I'm not gonna debate anymore why is it like that.

Interested in a Hana ml. I’ve  got an Audible Illudions 3B with the John Curl designed mc stage and fixed 47,000 resistance input . AI says their tests show low output mc’s work better at 47,000, with their design. Base on this thread, I guess I’ll have to just hold my breath if I order an ml !!
