SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead


Is it possible to use SoundSmith Sassuro Paula with Manley Steelhead? Paula has recommended loading from 2 to 4K and 0.3 mv output while Steelhead loading options for MC are much lower (25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 Ohms).
Any experiences/opinions?

Love the Paula sound by the way!

The New Hyperion, Paua, and Sussurro can all be ordered at 470 Ohms loading option. This will soon become the new "standard" order for all these models - That will largely broaden the preamp capability.

Just to clarify, I wasn't at all suggesting that the MM inputs on the Steelhead are inappropriate for MC cartridges. My point is that the loading options jump from 400 to 47K ohms, both of which would probably be suboptimal for the cartridge in question.
Dear Retipper, if there will be any sonic degradation if using 470 Ohns Paua with 400 ohm MC Manley Steelhead MC input?
No - none whatever. The 470 Ohm models of Paua, Sussurro, and Hyperions will have a bandwidth of 28KHz at 400 Ohms, so more than enough to cover normal bandwidth AND using even more loading (if desired) to tune the top end down if needed for your taste.
