Try 500 ohms for the Benz LPS. That is the resistor loading I use in a Boulder 2008 with the Benz LPS.
Boulder 1008 advice on cartridge loading
Hi everyone.
Just got a new Boulder 1008 phono stage to replace my Herron VTPH-3.
My cartridge is a Benz LPS.
I was expecting to be blown away on first listen but was not. The output was half that of the Herron which has led me to suspect the default loading of 100ohms for the MC setting is not correct for the Benz LPS.
Having just pulled out the Benz instruction manual it states the recommended loading is 500ohms to 47,000ohms.
I am fairly new to the whole vinyl thing so do not know what this means in my case with the Boulder 1008.
Any comments would be appreciated.
