The range of resistance values could be based on the particular LOMC(s) that you're most likely to use. For example, I had a range of 20/26/34/44/58/75 Ohms (approx. ratio of 1.3) installed for cartridges that ran best at less than 100 Ohms loading. Depending on how things work out and which LOMC I go with next, I may have a Piccolo built with resistance settings of 70 to 174 Ohms (ratio of 1.2) for a cartridge that runs best at plus or minus 100 Ohms loading. Or perhaps 10 to 30. Or...

Any number of starting resistance values and ratios can be installed (kit or custom build) to suit the range of cartridges that you're likely to use. At least that's the direction I'm headed. From what I've been reading and from my recent experience with the AT33PTG I'm convinced that fine tuning a LOMC is worthwhile. At least with my setup.
