lamm lp2 loading question


There are many reviews and people here that refer to the Lamm LP2 phono preamp as having a MC Load of 40ohms. However, the Lamm website lists it at 400. 400 ohms would be rather flexible but 40 ohms would not be for most cartridges. 40 ohms seems awfully low for the only setting. Can anyone explain the discrepancy?

thanks

The default setting on my Kw phono stage is 10 ohms and the external loading I use most is 100 ohms so 40 probabaly will work with most. I would think 400 is too high, at least for the cartridges I have used. YMMV
