I use mine at between 400 and 475 and I think that range is the ideal range for the hana el. It sounds, at least to me, more balanced at those settings. I’d go by the 10x internal impedance as a reference point, which happens to be 30 ohms. I would save 47k ohms for a high output MC or MM. The hana el is the bargain of the century in phono cartridges imo. Alnico magnets, excellent tracker, low output moving coil, and beautiful to look at, all for $475. I’m sure the SL and the ML are fantastic as well, but to me this el is the treasure of the bunch and blows away anything at the price.
