Buffer - emitter resistor value?

I use a buffer at the output of my phono stage - so it can quite easily drive an interconnect to a preamp. See here:





I started off with Re = 4K7.

This worked fine ... but then someone (whose opinion I respect) suggested I should instead use Re = 1K.

I've tried this - and this also seems to work fine.

Can anyone explain what implications one value has ... over the other?

Thanks,
