Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question

@atmasphere

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

@gbmcleod 

no , you can hear static when record is not playing, and I'm in Chicago so relatively humid place 

Okay. 

Have you had any luck with the suggestions from the board?

@ssg308 Its a good idea to make sure the arm and cartridge are compatible before you play with loading. If the arm can't track the cartridge properly because the mechanical resonance of the two it outside the ideal window, loading really won't help things.

Use this calculator to sort things out:

It looks like correlation arm/cartridge is spot on, static is generated somewhere between cartridge and Preamp I can't figure out if its is inner generated or pick from some kind of electric fields generated by what I suspect TV hanging above.
