Dynavector XV-1s set up

i believe it says less that 30ohms at least that is what my Dyna XX-2 says. I would set it at 22.

Set at 100 ohms to start. You may prefer 47 but don't worry too much much about changing from the 100 ohm setting until you get around 50 hours onm the cart.

Dynavector advises an impedance loading greater than 30 ohms. I agree with the advice offered by Vetterone. I am currently running my XV-1s cartridge at a loading of 100 ohms, which sounds "right" in my system for most LPs. I have also done extensive listening with the XV-1s loaded at 50 ohms. While the differences are subtle, there is more air and sparkle at 100 ohms, whereas the 50 ohm setting tends to result in sound that is a bit closed down in the top octaves. For LPs that tend to sound bright, you might find that you prefer the 47 ohm setting.

Many thanks for the full and very helpful responses, I'll set it at 100 ohms.

By the way, what tacking force do you use? At present I've just split the difference in the recommended 1.8g to 2.2g and set it at 2g. Any additional advice here would be equally warmly welcomed.

I set mine at 2 grms, however HW owner from VPI and HP from TAS swear by their XV-1s's at between 2.5 and 2,6 gms.

BTW I generally set mine at 47k with a pass Xono however I seem to be in the minority on that one.
