Hi John,
I appreciate you reposting those curves vs. loading. It makes more sense to me now that I didn't hear much difference between 90 ohm loading (setting from the previous OC-9 cart) and 900 ohm loading on my new-to-me Benz LOMC cartridge. I finally just settled at the recommended 750 ohm load.

Try loading at 47kOhm and see if you hear much difference between that and 90 ohm (or even 900ohm).
I suspect the difference would be fairly obvious, certainly in my system when using a OC9 ML/II the difference is obvious. If is likewise for you then that which "makes more sense" will quickly go bye-bye.
That's the point, that the sonic differences that are commonly reported with varying loading for mc cartridges apparently *cannot* be explained as FR differences.
At least, the two that I have, anyway! I prefer the sound of my Stanton WOS CS100 & Grado Reference Reference1 at about 35K, rather than 47K (this is with the right cap loading for the Stanton - the Grado is not affected by capacitance).
And I remember reading about another MM that sounded better at 60K!
Regards,
Andy
