dynavector XX2MK2 set up question

on vpi classic, do you set up with or without the mat on the table,
on without mat said 2.2g with the mat on it measure over 2.2 i think about 2.4g
and bass is too heavy, with the mat i set it 2.1g , bass is just nice , just right weight, play on 120 to 180g so far so good. any suggestion.
My phono on 40ohms. have not try moving higher yet.

thanks Tricon and Tom
i have set it on mat as play LP on it at 2.1gm, so far sounded good. just right weight on the bass, still on 40ohms, is quite pain in the ass to change to higher on the aesthetix io sgn. as i don't see very well , especially i have quite tight spot.

I have mine at 2g but the bass is somewhat light, so I am moving up to 2.1 or 2.2g soon. For me, loading of 1000ohms sounds considerably better than 100 (which offers a bit grainy sound) with my Ayre P5xe.

With mine, I track at just shy of 2gm. about 1.97 or so. Now that all set-up parameters have been optimzed, I find 1000ohms sounds just right. Before that, 30ohms is what I used.

i think because i am using Krell FPB600 above 100ohms is brighter, are you guys at 1000ohms using tube amps?Ack and Dan

I primarily run a VAC PA 35.35, an EL 34 push-pull amp. Sometimes, I switch to a Plinius SA 100 MKIII, 100wpc solid-state, depending on what I'm listening to at the time. I don't feel the need to change cartridge loading when I change amps. The Plinius has better bottom end, and is better for very dynamic material.

Best,
Dan
