I have seen manufactures specify different cartridge loading values for SUTs vs head amps. For example here is the spec for the Lyra Delos. There is a significant difference in this case. I have also seen general rules of thumb - loading should be 3x to 5x cartridge output impedance for SUT and > 10x for head amps. Can anyone explain this?
FWIW in my experience LOMCs need to be properly loaded at least when used with a SUT. Without loading there is too much sizzle in the high end and transients have too much of an edge.
