thumb5, the load capacitance the Ortofon calls for for the 2M is 150-300pF and the Devialet configurator defaults to 300pF when selecting the 2M cartridge. So, the setting seems OK on that front.
I believe it is the load resistance that is in question here. Ortofon recommends 47 kOhm here while the Devialet configurator defaults to "High". The drop-down menu for this item does have other options ranging from 10 to 460, but all appear to be below the "High" setting. Since it has been reported that the actual load metric is 14k, well short of the desired 47k for this cartridge, I don't see how I have a shot at "cranking up" the load resistance setting.
