How to set Sutherland 20/20 phono stage?

I am not sure how to set my new phono stage when it arrives. I have a Dynavector DV-20X2 high output MC cart.
I know the Sutherland has internal settings for gain and impedance but I am not sure how these would apply to this cart.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

You can Google "Sutherland 20/20 manual" to get a copy of the manual. You can easily find the Dynavector cartridge specs on Dynavector's website. Follow the 20/20 manual's directions for the Dyn's specs, and off you go.

For the DV-20X2 high output MC cartridge, you should set the gain to the MM setting (high output MCs require the same gain as MMs) and the load impedance to 47K ohms. Then sit back and enjoy the tunes!

Thanks Bill. It actually has a few gain settings in it. Can I just use my ears to get it right?
