I now use my old A&RP77 cartridge which I have had retipped. I notice that the manufacturer´s specs originally mentioned 400pF as the ideal capacitance for the 47K input on most amps. I understand that this capacitance should be the sum of the arm cable (mine is Cardas in an Ittok by Johnnie) plus that of the cartridge itself prior to the phono stage for optimum results. Most arm cables are around 100pF so I thought of trying to add the difference, rather like the 220pF gizmo that my old Ortofon VMS20E cartridge used to include for its use between the cartridge pins.
Is this worth trying ?
