What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII

Dan,
I too have the XX2 Mk II and have the loading set at 40 Ohms. Ralph Karsten (Atamasphere) provided a technical method of determining the loading using a function generator and an oscilloscope, and I found that with the loading set below 30 ohms, the signal began to be attenuated. Do you experience a drop in volume at that level?

Hi Mcdonald43,

I have not noticed a drop in gain, just a more neutral frequency balance.

Recently added 47ohm DIY resistors (thanks, Tvad!), and cartridge loading is now perfect. Once again, thanks to members for giving a helping hand when one is needed. Sure adds to the enjoyment of this great hobby!

Regards to all, and Happy New Year!

The correct loading makes an amazing difference, doesn't it? FWIW your loading is almost exactly what I measured using Atmasphere's method.
Enjoy!
Mike

Recently I read that for MC cartridges 47 kohms is also an option for loading. What is the purpose for such a high impedance loading?
