What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII

I'm using a Simaudio Moon LP5.3, and just changed the resistive loading from 100ohms to 10ohms. This seems to have balanced out the frequency response from being somewhat tipped-up in the treble, to a better balance with the mids and bass. I'm just curious to see what others are doing in similar circumstances.

Thanks,
Dan

100 ohms. Heed Quasar phono preamp.

There is no way to get between 10ohms and 100ohms, by the way.

Thanks to all,

Yes there is. Use some RCA "Y" adapters and plug some DIY RCA plugs wired with various resistor values into the extra female connector on each "Y" adapter. Use a 100 ohm starting value on your phono preamp. The total resistance will be lowered according to the value RCA plugs you install. Use this parallel resistance calculator to figure the new resistance. For example, using a base resistance of 100 ohms, plugging a RCA plug wired with a 50 ohm resistor will yield a resistance of 33 ohms.

Works great.

Thanks to member "Nsgarch" for this technique.
