Cartridge Loading- Benz LO.4


Looking to see if anyone has experience with proper phono pre-amp impedence for this cart. Specs say 200-47K. Quite a range and I'd like to narrow it down a bit. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure about the L0.4, but my Glider L0.2 sounds best with very low impedence load, 10-100 Ohms.
I found that my Glider L2 sounded much more three dimensional when loaded down in the 100 ohm range. At 47K, the std in my CAT or using the 22k (if that's what it is which a Benz PP-1, it sounded flat and relatively lifeless. I have not yet started playing around with the 4 loading steps on my new Supratek, but there was a dramatic difference going low. Give it a try.
I think you are right on Jimbo. I would expect that you would end up in that range (100-1K).
