Loading for Benz-Micro Glider


I have the original lo output Glider. It's mounted on the VPI 10" arm. Has anyone experimented with loading on this combo? The specs says anywhere from 1k to 47k will work. I dropped in the 1k and the resolution and dynamics seem a bit soft. I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone can give me a good starting point before I go a-solderin' and a-experimentin'. You know, save a little time and hassle. I'm using some very good cables, same as the cd, and it sounds fantastic (Legend Audio Design 'Le Maa'). The pre is an ARC SP-9 MKIII with Siemens 6922 phono and Telefunken 6922 line. Thanks for any and all suggestions. - Bill L. [email protected]

Last night the soldering gun was smokin' in overtime and 2.29k is the winner. Surprisingly, at 3.2k the bass had lost its punch, and hardness was creeping in on the mids. Now for some fine tuning...
