Dynavector XV-1s loading question.

Try around 100 ohms and go from there.

> means "greater than" so try any loading from 30 Ohms and up - which ever one sounds best to you is the right one for you.

Try 500 to 1000 ohms. You just might find a fuller, suppler, more musical and natural sound in that range. At least, that's what I hear with my XV-1S.

no no no....100 or 200 ohms....but then it's your ears...

As you approach 30 ohms from higher values, you may notice at some point that you have less apparent phono stage gain, due to loss of signal from hot to ground. If that is happening, then go up at least one notch from the value that affected gain. This will give you a near approximation of "critical damping". Or just use 100 ohms, which is pretty standard for cartridges with an internal resistance of <10 ohms.
