Hey Tima,

You may well be correct. And the differences I hear in cartridge loading are very slight. Yet the value changes there are substantial and the signal small and delicate. A quality resistor's value used with the low current and voltage in a speaker crossover wouldn't change much, if at all so it seems there would be much less difference to hear. But, in this hobby. Maybe I need a new stone of some sort for my amps.
