Hi Agiaccio: The loading resistance for a low-impedance MC cartridge is related to the values of the capacitances between cartridge and phono stage (plus whatever amount is present at the phono stage input). The general rule of thumb is that, the lower the capacitance value, the higher the resistive loading value can be (which is beneficial for dynamics and resolution).
If you are willing to give me a few days, I could run a set of loading simulations for you. Please be aware that without knowing some of the key capacitance values, a certain amount of guesswork will be involved.
These days you can buy a digital multimeter (DMM) which can easily measure capacitance for not a lot of money, and this would eliminate the guesswork (hint, hint).
The Nordost Heimdall 2 will likewise be one meter long (3.28 feet)? FWIW, 1.2m is more common for bespoke tonearm cable.
How long would you estimate the signal wiring inside the JMW-9 tonearm to be (including the leads to the junction box)?
kind regards, jonathan carr
