Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2

Looking at several of my recent posts, I can confirm that "within" does not mean SPELL CHECK! :-(

If your female vocalists are accompanied by a purse or toe, you've got problems even a new Basis Reference wouldn't solve.

Actually, to quote J. Geils, first I look at the purse. Of course, a full purse would be essential in considering your doubtful remedy. :-) Toes, however, are secondary.

And, absent the purse or not, I'd at least be able to look at my table without hurling. And I don't mean me ancestor's sport.

For what it's worth, I use a Shelter 501 Mk2 into a Plinius M14 phono stage which has adjustable loading "on the fly" with a knob on the front. You can select, 47K, 1K, 470, 100, 47 or 22. To my ear 47K is the best with the sound becoming consistently more compressed as I decrease from there. Shelter also recommends 47K ohms for a high gain phonostage.

Jyprez, can you kindly provide the information or link to where Shleter recommends 47K for the Shleter 501? Thanks
