Power transfer is maximized when transformer input impedance is equal to cartridge output impedance.Current from a cartridge is maximized when its load is zero-ohms.
Reluctance is a term that deals with magnetism and has absolutely nothing to do with resistance.
Please, Garth, try to control yourself in the future.

Garth, I am reluctant and resistant to put in my two cents worth on this. The magnetic flux of the purist tonality is pushing the extremes of my linearity and I am afraid the warp core will rupture and the positive matter and anti matter will end our hapless universe.John is right when he asks me to shut up. I am sorry he is picking on you. Perhaps we should both duck and hide a while while John is on the prowl.....
John I said and I quote myself here:"As the load impedance goes above source impedance the power is decreased."
Ok, you can turn it around and say as the load impedance decreases power is maximized. But as it goes below the source impedance it is no longer optimized.Read more carefully and try to control yourself in the future.
BW - reluctance is the term used when capacitance and inductance make impedance. Impedance is not just resitance but also reluctance in the form of some capacitance and inductance.
I'm sorry (for you) but I believe I used the term correctly and in context.
So, you don't want to troll anymore on the Schröder arm? Ok by me.
That is what my brain scan has confirmed. If anyone sees a brain running around somewhere in cyberland, it is probably mine.This same resistance, reluctance, capacitance, and inductance is what makes cable reviews so fun to poke at. Transparent Audio builds networks just to make their stupid copper cable sound like silver. I can build silver cable for 1/1000th the cost and it still wipes a network speaker cable.
Heck my friends are experimenting all the time with better quality teflon CAT 5 and are getting pretty respectable results.
The truth in all audio reproduction is that each little piece has an important contribution to the junk or the magic we hear.
I just wish my brain showed some resistance. It might help end my reluctance and induce me to capacitate a bit more.
But otherwise...
