superline match for ortofon cadenza blue

Start from an S loading and adjust if necessary.

Make sure VTA and VTF are satisfactory before experimenting with a cartridge loading.

Once you reach the value you like, it is well worth it to get a Z-foil Airplug for drastically lowered noise floor and distortion.

well,

sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean by "s loading"

recommended values are between 50-200 ohms but i'm no sure about which capacitors if any?

Naim S type loading is 470ohms

well, initially it's the superline I have. S TYPE.

so basically to start without plugging any resistor or capacitor, that's what you mean?

typical loading  is around 100 to 120 ohm.   basically you switch a value of resistor that is in parallel with a fixed resistor.   example  100 in parallel 100 would loaded 50 ohms.  majority of m.c  with be fine at 100 ohm   a very small capacitor will be used 2 nano farad

You should have a bag included with the Superline with some load plugs of different values, resistance load and also capacitance. One of the plugs is a 470R, and this gives you "S Type" loading.  For specific values that fall outside of those supplied your dealer can help out.

Here's a useful thread to read through;

If it sounds a bit sluggish in the bass you need a higher load, too light weight and you need less, the cap plug can tame the top end. It takes a little time to settle, even my ex demo changed its loading requirements a little over the first month or so, so don't go ordering a Z plug right away.

With luck Frank will be along in a little while to tell you what his colleague used with his cadenza bronze.

wow, thanks for this reply.

just to make things clearer.

my system:

nottingham mentor/nottingham ace/cadenza blue/SL/TC

olives: 52/SC + 250

any insights would be much welcomed.

thanks
