What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII

I'm using a Simaudio Moon LP5.3, and just changed the resistive loading from 100ohms to 10ohms. This seems to have balanced out the frequency response from being somewhat tipped-up in the treble, to a better balance with the mids and bass. I'm just curious to see what others are doing in similar circumstances.

Thanks,
Dan

Mmmm, lot of smart folks on this site! Thanks Tvad, and Nsgarch, and many so others that have helped my analog front end sound so spectacular. (It really does!)

Thanks to all,
Dan

Hey Dan, have you fooled around much with the VTA? Dynavectors generally should be a tiny bit low at the pivot end of the arm, not exactly level.

Hi 'Snappin,

I've tried raising and lowering the VTA, and have settled on about parallel, or a tad down in the back. I really didn't notice that much difference, though, so I quit messing with it. Lowering the resistive loading seemed to make much more difference, and it sounds so good now, I don't dare change it. I do like to tweak though, so I've got to resist the temptataion.

Regards, and good listening,
Dan

Islandman, I'd be curious to know what speakers you are using and what happens to the sound as you increase the load resistance that you find less pleasant. I am just very surprised that 10-ohm loading sounds best.
