My Phono stage's Input Impedance is 3 Ohm.The cartridge I am thinking of buying has a coil resistance of 16 Ohms.
Can you tell me the ill effects if any, of using a 16 ohm cartridge with a 3 ohm phono stage.

Al,The Phono Stage is an ESE Labs Nibiru and it indeed has a 3 ohm input impedance.Your reply referencing a MC cartridge is the answer I was looking for.Much thanks
I am presently using cartridges with impedance's of 3.4 and 8 ohms.Each works very well with this amazing Phono Stage.I was thinking of selling one of my cartridges and replacing it with one that is 16 ohms.I now think that I should stay with what I know works for me.I thank you both for your posts
