I have some nice Kimber select cables in between the pre and the phono stage. I will try different cables to see how that affects the loading. Thanks.
Current generation Mcinotsh gear does not have a phono stage input setting. Don't worry about the 47Kohm advice as your phono stage is probably already fixed at that. Just concern yourself with the cartridge loading setting of which the GFS can comfortably do up to 1000ohm depending on material after around 50hours break-in.

It depends on your phono stage & the quality of your vinyl. The GFS running off the C1000T with TFK ECC803S set at 1000ohm loading for current audiophile grade re released master pressings sounds great. Older material can sound edgy & I dial down to taste.
