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?

I own that Cartridge too. I use it with 47kohms. I tried some other ( lower ) settings and it became dull and slow.
And I lost information then. But I can imagine, this can can vary from System to System.
