Cartridge Loading- Benz LO.4


Looking to see if anyone has experience with proper phono pre-amp impedence for this cart. Specs say 200-47K. Quite a range and I'd like to narrow it down a bit. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found that my Glider L2 sounded much more three dimensional when loaded down in the 100 ohm range. At 47K, the std in my CAT or using the 22k (if that's what it is which a Benz PP-1, it sounded flat and relatively lifeless. I have not yet started playing around with the 4 loading steps on my new Supratek, but there was a dramatic difference going low. Give it a try.
Thanks, Swamp. I'm going to try to "bracket" 100 and 20K to start. I'm guessing that the next step is probably going to be 10K, then 5K, 2K and 1K, if necessary. From what you all have been saying, I should probably ultimately end up somewhere between 100 and 1000. Thanks for everyone's input.
I think you are right on Jimbo. I would expect that you would end up in that range (100-1K).
