Shelter 901: Optimal Impedance

Hello,

I'm a neophyte with MC cartridges. I've recently acquired a Shelter 901 MC cartridge and I'm a little confused about the correct impedance to use. The manual says 100 ohms, but vinylengine.com states that user reports suggested 470 ohms. Perhaps this is a typo and they mean 47K ohms?
Might someone be able to advise me.

Thanks,

Mike

The optimal impedance will be different in different systems.

It is best to determine what impedance sounds best to you in your system. Just try all the options on your phono stage and decide for yourself.

No damage will be done by experimenting with impedance on your phono stage.
