Load.

 

 

Each

 

and

 

every

 

cartridge

 

requires

 

the

 

correct

 

load

 

to

 

sound

 

its

 

best.

  

MM

 

cartridges

 

require

 

capacitive

 

load

 

(pF),

 

MC

 

cartridges

 

require

 

resistive

 

load

 

(

/Ohm).

 

 

The

 

correct

 

load

 

value

 

shall

 

be

 

stated

 

in

 

the

 

cartridge

 

manual

 

too,

 

however

 

not

 

ALL

 

cartridges

 

state

 

this

 

value.

  

 

Many

 

people

 

have

 

misunderstood

 

this

 

load

 

value

 

as

 

the

 

same

 

as

 

the

 

cartridge

 

internal

 

impedance/resistance

 

which

 

is

 

incorrect.

For

 

cartridges

 

that

 

have

 

no

 

load

 

value

 

stated

 

in

 

the

 

manual,

 

the

 

only

 

way

 

to

 

find

 

out

 

the

 

correct

 

load

 

value

 

is

 

by

 

listening.

  

Which

 

load

 

value

 

provides

 

the

 

most

 

natural

 

sound,

 

then

 

it

 

is

 

the

 

right

 

value.

 

For

 

example,

 

the

 

correct

 

load

 

for

 

Denon

around

 

1kOhm.

 

 

Tip:

 

If

 

the

 

sound

 

is

 

too

 

dull,

 

try

 

increasing

 

the

 

pF(MM)or

 Ω

/Ohm(MC)

 

value

if

 

the

 

sound

 

is

 

too

 

bright,

 

try

 

lowering

 

the

 

pF(MM)

 

or

 Ω

/Ohm(MC)

 

value.
