Default Cartridge impedence question

Many thanks both - it certainly seems loud enough. I've just googled 'z
load', and apart from bafflement, the other variable seems to be the
cable. How do you measure the impedence of a cable?!


Doesn't matter since you're not matching in and out. And at those sorts of
impedances the capacitance won't matter either - although it can with high
impedance MM cartridges.

I'm sure it doesn't matter, just curious :-)


Cable impedance only really matters where you are matching things - like
aerials or video where they're commonly 75 ohm.
