Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2

I have the exact same 0.23 mV cartridge and depending on the phono stage in use with it, I highly recommend you set it for 100 ohms loading.

What make and model of phono stage are you planning to use with the DV XX-2 cartridge?

I am using a Michael Yee PF1 phono stage, very versatile in terms of cartridge load settings.

I am not familiar at all with the Michael Yee PF1 phono stage.

Is it tubed based or solid state?

What gain levels does it offer?

You will find that the DV XX-2 cartridge performs best with 68 dB plus gain.

The Michael Yee phono satges has 4 input sensitivity options (for MM and MC) and load settings from 20 to 350 Ohms with a combination of 2 8 DIP switches, increments are every 10 Ohm until 150 or so and then 20 Ohm increments.

I have it at the highest sensitivity option (above 575dB) which gives plenty of gain to have it at the same output level as the CDP input option of my preamp, and at 30 Ohms (I will try the 100 Ohm setting and work out from there).

Am I heading to the right path?

Thanks a lot (all) for your help, it is highly appreciated.

OOpps , I forgot something - The MY PF-1 is a SS design
