This is a question so dumb and basic that I can't find an answer online. I guess no one bothered explaining it because it's common knowledge.
Ok, so MC cartridges like resistant loading. Where does this loading actually go? before or after the SUT?? How to I apply it anyway? I imagine sticking little resistors on the pins of the cartridges... but I doubt that's it. Maybe a box with an RCA-in, some resistors inside and RCA-out? If that's it, is a potentiometer a good way to have 'infinite' loading options? Or is it too noisy? Perhaps a stepped attenuator instead?
and finally (for now), where do I apply the resistors to? The hot/positive only? (white and red, typically)
Thanks
