I haven't had the Cadenza for long and I'm still experimenting with settings myself. This should at least offer a reasonable starting point.
Hello Confused. What is your current thinking on the settings? A chap from Henley Designs advised me that 100 ohms was the best loading in his experience for the Cadenza Black and I have stuck with that. I have settled on Devialets 330uv however. This is certainly the best cartridge I have used and my only slight concern is the hiss you can discern in quiet passages of music. This seems to be an issue for low output MC cartridges with the Devialet phono stage. Some have suggested a step up transformer is the way to go. It would be good to know if there were any changes to the phono stage of the new pro versions but I have heard nothing on this subject so far.
