Load Settings for Dynavector 20XL?

Installed a new cart today and I'm confused what type of load setting to use on my Rhea.

Can anyone help?

The Dynavector sheets says:
Impedance: R=150homs / 5 ohms
Recommended load: >1000 ohms / 30 ohms

My Rhea load settings are:
75
125
250
500
1k
2.5k
5k
10k
47k

Thanks!

General rule of thumb courtesy of member "Nsgarch":

25 x 5 ohms = 125 ohms

+/- 50% of 125 ohms is a range of about 75 ohms to 200 ohms.

Start with 75 ohms, and increase to 125 or 250 ohms until the bass sounds
right.

Thanks, guys. This is the area of vinyl that I still don't quite get, so I much appreciate the advice!

What phono stages are you all using with this cartridge? Just got it, and looking to buy the phono stage now. Leaning toward tubes.
