Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2


Hi - I have just bought a Dynavector xx2 cartridge, loading it with the recommended 30 Ohm setting, but I have read that 40 Ohm is better suited for this cartridge, any recommendation of where is the right setting?

Thanks !

Please don´t laugh!!! :)

I went back to my phono preamp and tried the 50 Ohm "setting", different presentation but still funny sounding. Then placed the DIP switched for 150 Ohms and, while different sound, still got a non-convincing result.

Then. I noticed that I was assuming (+) the positions marked OPEN in the DIP switch bank... called a friend and informed me that CLOSED is (+), not OPEN.!!!!!!

You were right!! 100 Ohms sounds better!!!!

Thanks for your help.
