In Reply to: The load teh MC should see should be at least 10 times it's own coil impedance. posted by Timbo in Oz on May 18, 2012 at 23:32:06:
>>I am against loading MCs heavily, IE at 1 to 3 times their coil impedance. You are also throwing away most of their power output / signal to noise advantage over MMs.
IME they will be under-damped and will almost always sound bright and light, almost zippy.<<
Actually, it's the opposite. Heavy loading = heavier damping = reduced out of band HF resonance peak. It also usually produces tighter but subjectively less extended bass. Having said that I agree that higher impedance load is usually better, it opens up sound.
