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

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!

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?
