Hi Fromunda,
I don't want to contradict Louis but if you're asking about the current Meister Silver GM MkII, it's listed on Ortofon's website as outputting .3mV with a DCR of 1.5 ohms and recommended loading of >10 ohms. If that's the case, you can probably get by fine with 60 db of gain and 100 ohm loading. I have an A90 that recommends >10 and 100 is just right for my system.

Perhaps Louis is giving specs for an earlier model Meister Silver with lower output and higher internal resistance. Or perhaps he's thinking of the current Royal GM II (which I own and love), which outputs .2mV with a DCR of 6 ohms, and loads >100 ohms. It sounds great with 64 db of gain in my phono stages but needs to be loaded at 150-175 ohms. Loading at 100 sounds closed in.
