I've recently completed the build of my Bugle and want to ensure that I'm loading my temporary cartridge properly...I'm using a Grado black MM cartridge for now...I've built the kit as specified and currently the loading resistor locations are empty...Is this correct or should I put 47k resistors in these locations (R16 and R34) to load my MM cartridge properly.  This is all new to me so I apologize in advance...

Cheers,

You don't need to add any resistors.  It is stock 47K with R16 and R34 slots vacant.

Great...so if I change to an MC cartridge in the future which requires 100 Ohm loading then I'll add 100 ohm resistors in these locations?

Thanks,

Another question/issue...Currently I'm using the 9V batteries to power the Bugle and it appears to work fine for about 3min and then stops working in the sense that it isn't outputting any signal...Any clue what might be happening?  Its done this both times I've tried it...Once I power it down (remove batteries) and then power it up again, the same thing, it works briefly...

anywhere I should check first?

Sounds like you're using rechargeable batteries on their last legs.  Build a Bugle power supply to rid of the trouble.
