RE: Forget everything I have posted for the last 5 years!

The cap is for MM cartridges, which often specify an optimum load capacitance (cable plus auxiliary cap plus the tube's Miller capacitance - about 50pF for a 6DJ8). With an SUT, lower capacitance is better unless the SUT maker has other ideas.

In both cases there is a large contingent who feel that any added capacitance causes a sonic loss. I'm agnostic at this point.
