    Hi can anybody tell me what the best loading is for Lyra Delos. I have a gorbe turntable with a OL Ilustrious arm. My phono is a Trichord Dino 11

    Hi Mike,

    The loading on the Lyra isn't critical and you will only detect audible changes if the loading impedance is very low - say around <50 Ohms.

    The is because the Lyra has a very low source impedance (about 3 Ohms) and inductance making it largely immune to loading.
