@theaudioguru - I've never even considered running my Cadenza on high ohms. So an interesting post from yourself, I'll certainly give this a try when I get some time!

@Confused
Yeah my dealer recommended trying it and it worked really well for me.
I did play with the power uvms settings , going lower than 400 gave me more volume and body but i wasn't too sure if it was wise to mess with?
All tips welcome!

Hi, can someone share their settings for denon DL103 (I have pan upgraded one by Midas)?
Currently using MC, 300μV rms, 100ohm, 100pf, 1976 RIAA, 96khz.

Thanks!
Anybody using an Audionote Io cartridge ?
Anyone have their recommended settings for the Ortofon 2M Black cartridge? Thanks.

After watching the digital input on Presonus Studio One I had to adjust the the voltage from 2500μV to 3000μV to get the digital clipping in control on my loudest EP.

Of course that made a major sound improvement as well.

My cartridge could just be hotter then spec, or 20% over cartridge value might be a safe margin for everyone to use. We should collect some more data if users have DAWs.
Cartridge outputs are normally specified for 0dB=5cm/sec (at 1kHz iirc) but plenty of records have a higher level than this recorded on them, so one needs to check whilst playing one's most heavily modulated record. I have heard +8dB to be a common max modulation level.
One doesn't strictly need a DAW, the input flashes red on the display if digital clipping of the ADC is approached. I have used this feature to set gain of all my analogue inputs.

I've got the Zu version of the Denon DL-103 and I'm using the settings:
MC, 400μV rms, High ohm, 100pf, 1976 RIAA, 96khz.

However, I really have no idea what the pF should be. All I have is the data that came with the cartridge. see attached image.
Looking for new cartridge i have those 2 in my mind // Audio note iQ1 or kiseki purpleheart . Can anybody tell me the settings about those cartridge ,then i Will be wery glad Shy and i say hello from Denmark
