Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance?

Thank You J. The whole idea behind these forums T is to assist folks like you
in getting up to speed.

When you've provided some bonafide help, insight or education, I'll be the first
to offer my genuine thanks and appreciation. Thus far though, too many of your
contributions have been ill-informed or incorrect, and unreliable. Therefore, I
read them with due caution.

Still waiting for the white paper report on phono cable impedance.

I can defer to J and Atmas for now... And the Hagerman guy too!

Weak exit from a weak mind.

LOL

Jonathan Carr,

Thanks for your explanation. I thought Mr. Karsten's comments about there being one right loading, in terms of proper electrical dampening of the cartridge made sense, but, it did not exactly square with my experience that the best loading of any particular cartridge seems to differ depending on the phonostage. I can see how both comments are not incompatible.

Larryi, if you just use your ears for loading a cartridge, you will indeed arrive at different values for different phono sections. That is because different phono sections sound different, some are brighter than others due to the use of negative feedback or the like. That is why I recommend a more exact method, so that the loading is not used as a tone control to counter other effects that should be dealt with in other ways.
