You got me on that one James! Pretty sure there is just the one H/O loading. I'll av a gecko! :D

Disregard that comment Craig, 47Kohm is wide open as I've found out and 100ohms will just roll off all that nice detail at the top end. My cart they recommend 300ohms but I'm running 47 at the moment and really enjoying it. Once it's broken in and I know it better I'll try a few different setting to see how it sounds.
