Set the load impedance as high as possible.
if you encounter brightness, begin to lower the load impedance.
The load impedance is not for the benefit of the cartridge. It is there to prevent Radio Frequency Interference from messing with the input of the phono section. To this end, its also best to use a tone arm interconnect cable with the least capacitance you can find. This will put the RFI at a much higher frequency and might make it easier to control.
