The seller recommended 100 ohms.
Sounds a bit muddy in the bass, and there's a slight hum.
But the mud could be a VTA issue and the hum probably is a grounding problem. Also, the cart has not been properly run in yet.Maybe I should have posed this a theoretical question rather than giving the details. Of course I can experiment with the settings and decide on what sounds best, as another poster suggested. But in addition to that I am interested in knowing more about what are the characteristics of and differences in the impedence loading settings, in terms of sound perception or physics or both. Is there any danger in using the higher settings? Any harm in switching setings while the music is playing?
This is new territory for me. With the high output carts I've owned previously, it's just set it and forget it.
