I should have qualified my answer. I have a Fluke 45 DMM and it puts out nearly five-times the current as my B&K DMM when measuring resistance. The safe way to measure coil resistance on a low-output moving coil is to place a 1000-ohm resistor in series with the cartridge coil. Measure the resistor first and then place it in series with the cartridge coil. This will protect the cartridge coil.Sorry!
