“I asked about the loading because in VE there has been talk about loading all MM with as little C as possible and tuning the R for best results within the audible frequency band. But the Pickering is a MI and I’m not sure if this would be a good way to tune this kind of cart.
Would you go with 275pF and try to tune the 47k for optimal results? (if even audible)?”

Well, would you?
