I can test the phono section for different impedance but with some difficulty. I have to purchase resistors and unscrew two screws in the back and put new ones in, unfortunately there is no easy dial like some phono sections. will the trial and error be totally the sonics of normal album play? Having not done this yet what can I expect from different resisters? The preamp/phono section is a atmasphere mp1 and the turntable is a walker, possibly the brands names can lend more information. thanks for taking the time to help out.
loading impedance
I have a zyx r1000 cartridge, per the manufacture's web page, the recommended load is >100 ohms ( I would think there should be a exact # that the phono section should be set to). The preamp that I have is adjustable (with some effort). What should the impedance be set in the phono section? I have heard some complicated methods of checking impedance of cartridge etc. How does it affect sonic characteristics if I were to change from a 600ohm to 100ohm resister?
