67.101.222.217
I'm a complete and utter neophyte when it comes to vinyl and will appreciate confirmation on the settings I should use for this setup:Dynavector 10X5 cartridge. Dynavector recommends a load impedance >1k ohms. The cartridge is relatively high output at 2.5mV
My phono stage (Blue Circle BC23) has settings for 47k ohm, 100 ohm, 69 ohm, 60 ohm, 221 ohm, 150 ohm, 475 ohm. It also offers 40dB and 61db gain settings.
I can do the basic math and see that 47k ohm > 1k ohm, but want to confirm that this is indeed the setting I should use. I figure I should use the 40dB gain setting as well. Does that seem right or do others have other setting recommendations?
Many thanks.

Set your phono stage to MM if you have this option. Use MC on low gain if no MM and set the unit at 47k and listen for the magic.And let us know what you hear!!!

I don't know that I would brag about that! Henry is right about the impedance and gain settings for this cartridge and your phonostage. It should sound great. Be sure to get it mounted and aligned properly.

For whatever it's worth my tube Stage is a MM unit with only 47K
and my 10 x 5 sounds magnificent.
