Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question

I have a Hana ML, which I've had for a few years and used in OL Silver and now The Encounter, loaded - as always - at 47k (well, unloaded). And it sounds fantastic. 

Same here. I've had the cartridge several years and really can't complain. Its effortless with everything I throw at it.

well since I wrote the question I changed my ML for Unami Red. 

It is still new so I load it at 1000ohms and it sounds great, how ever I did not try to load it 47k yet. I let it running for about maybe 100 hours and later I'll try to lad 47k. Well now I have bigger problem, my gain is set to 67db and my quiet XP17 does generate a little hiss at volume about 70+ db, I can live with that, however I'm picking up some static noise and for now I have no idea where it comes from, not from phono stage, it seam like it happening between the cartridge and single post connectors that are plugged in to XP17. when you unplug them form phono stage you left with hiss form XP17 once you plug it back you hear static noise. Kills me!

If you hear static when playing music, get some static spray. I clean my equipment - especially in the dry, winter months -  with Nordost's ECO spray, but I bet a supermarket static spray for clothes might be a decent alternative.

Winter's dry here in the DC area (and Connecticut, where I'm from,  but I don't know if you're in a dry area that causes static. Is static normal for you to experience in your home during winter months ?

Ralph, I just want to thank you for all your input, especially around cartridge loading. There is so much wrong information floating around.
