In theory I should be able to change the resistors to alter the load but I am worried that going beyond the recommended value would harm the pre amp/head amp.I've never heard of this kind of change ever harming a preamp or head amp. All you are doing is changing the value of the resistor. All associated electronic parts in this chain should have more than enough capacity.
input impedance load on a cartridge.
I am interested in purchasing an MC cartridge that prefers a 400ohm "load"from the pre amp. My head amp for MC cartridges provides 110ohms which is the highest recommendation for the unit (according to the manual). In theory I should be able to change the resistors to alter the load but I am worried that going beyond the recommended value would harm the pre amp/head amp.
Can I alter the resistors to accommodate the cartridge or should I be looking for a different cartridge (or a different head amp)?
I am particularly interested in the possibility of changing the load. The alternative cart/pre option is of secondary interest.
