RE: Phono cable requirements?

Keep your phono cable at 1 meter and maximum 100pF, which might be as low as go can reasonably go for that length. It really has an effect of your treble response with moving magnet cartridges. In general, the more capacitance you have with MM, you'll have a measurably brighter treble response above flat which is not desirable because it will accentuate the ticks and pops of all records. You can always add capacitance, but you can't take it away. Keep it as low as possible for maximum flexibility with loading MM carts. Capacitance's influence on the frequency response of a moving coil cartridge is likely inconsequential.
