What capacitance to look for in wire/cable for arm lead?

Hi all,
assuming a lead of about 0.75 metres and a MM cartridge, what would be a safe maximum?
I got hold of some good quality ('Shark') OFC, single-screen/twin-core which is spec'ed as 112ÂµF per metre (so about 80ÂµF, plus all the other contributing stuff - arm-wiring, solder-joints, RCA's, phono-amp). Too high?
Thanks.

Probably not. That is quite high but it depends on the cartridge and the ... - Garth 09:31:45 09/08/06 (2)
