Benz Ruby 3s impedance loading

I have a Benz LP Ebony, and 1000 ohms is quite perfect in my system. I have an infinite number of options in this regard, and just checked...1000 ohms. I remember that the cartridge took a very long time to break in...if yours is new, give it a couple of months, and check it again. I am quite sure that the loading is system dependent. If 1000 ohms is again not to your liking, you can change the resistors to any value you need. Call your preamp manufacturer.

Dear Nandric: I just try a Ruby 3 from an audio friend and I loaded at 100 ohms that is lower than the manufacturer advise o the subject. Runs very good but I don't have the time to test it with different load impedance.
Seems to me that you have to try yours with lower impedance value that the ones you already tested and that do not like you. In the other side ( I don't have enough experience with ) maybe it needs more play time as Stringreen suggest or maybe a different tonearm or set up: VTF/VTA/SRA/AZ.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Nandric,

I owned a Ruby 2 for many years. My Hovland HP-100 is fixed at 530 ohms loading. I always found it to perform very well at this load setting. Raul Iruegas visited me about a year ago and brought his excellent preamp for an audition which has many impedence loads available. We played my Ruby 2 at 100 ohms and it sounded quite good. We did not have much time to experiment at this setting, but it seemed to have more body than at the 530 ohms on my Hovland. You should experiment and use your ear.
