How is my loading affecting my sound?

I bought a Tom Evans The Groove recently with high gain and 562 the gain is .2mv. I am using a Dynavector XV-1S set for 2.47g on a EMT 948 table. It is a .3mv cartridge which the recommendation is for greater than 30ohms loading.

What difference should the loading make? How does too high differ from too low or just right? Since I own a phonostage that has hardwired loading, how will I know what to have it set to?

How does loading change cartridge setup?

The load is currently at 562 ohms. I'm trying to understand why Dynavector recommends 30 ohms and what 562 ohms will do to the sound.

Since I can't change the load myself, how do I know what to change it to?
