Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance?


I'm curious to hear what load impedance other PW owners are using for this cartridge. My manual recommends > 10 kOhms which I suspect is a print error. I notice that the dealer sites are recommending >10 Ohms.

1 year, 50 times = Fail. When calculating impedance you always add the phono cable. C'mon Fail, vinyl membership is small enough without you giving bad advice... Again...
IMHO, the Winfield is a hot rod Jubilee. The diminishing return thing applies here, very well. Jubilee kills at the price point. The Windfield is better, sure, but at 3500, there are now more players. The choice gets a little tougher.
Zieman,
I don't want to embarrass you further but the impedance of any phono cable is negligible. I'm sure you don't know this based on your posts.

Most phono cables have impedances of well under 2 ohms; some are as low as 0.15 ohms (Zu Xaus).

The only time the phono cable impedance comes into play is when it's value exceeds the internal impedance of the cartridge. Which is seldom and never.

The bottom line is to ignore phono cable impedance.

Check this out with any cartridge, phono stage, or cable designer. I hope you learn something from this.

Now the question is, how do you fit both hands in your mouth where both feet seem to reside frequently.
