RE: I found some measurements for the Pickering XLZ-7500s...

The inductance is about as low as they could reasonably go for the output which is 0.06mV/cm/s. The actual voltage output of course depends on the magnet slug size, but the output of my samples was typically <0.3mV ref 0dB (5cm/s rms).

The recommended load is about an order of magnitude less than required for ideal frequency extension at HF - loading at 1k or higher opens up the top end and easily extends to at least 45kHz for the more modestly spec'd models sporting nude elliptical tips (0.2x0.7mil) such as the 785LZE and XLZ3500E.
If you load at the recommended 100 ohms, the cartridge is very much on the warm side with an early roll off above 16kHz.
