Benz Micro M2 loading

"The better the cart. the lower the loading."

Pure audio genius.

In the mean time, the Michell Technoweight and Riggle VTAF are cost effective upgrades. As you point out, the rest of your system is worthy of better in the long run.

Jandrese9882,
get your test freq. LP out. play the 10k and 15k tracks with a resistor. Select a higher value resistor. play the same tracks. note the change in hi freq. output level and run the calc to determine where you need to be.

Hi, I am new to analogue and intrigued by:

"06-24-08: Gerardff
I always assumed that increasing the loading would be better for me since it reduced HF output. What no one explained to me was it also reduces the bass and the overall signal output."

Could someone advise if the above is generally correct? And how does it work?
Thanks

First of all, increasing the loading means lowering the value of the load resistor. Since this "loading resistor" is between the hot and ground, lowering this value increases the "load" on the signal, thus reducing high frequency resonances and, in extreme cases, reducing bass and overall output.
