In Reply to: RE: Phono cable requirements? posted by dconsmack on January 27, 2013 at 22:01:53
The cable is 1 meter in length but 140 pF based on my calculation. And I use a MM cartridge. What do you think -- bad idea?
Follow Ups:
Some MM cartridges require a cap. of 400. Most require 100 to 200. Now that you know what your cables are, you now need to know what your phono stage settings (cap./resistance),settings are. Are they adjustable? Are they fixed and if so, what are they fixed at. If fixed at let say 200 cap. and your cables are 140 (total 340), and you are using a cartridge that wants to see 100, you might wind up with a sound that is a little bright. Then again, your system might roll off the top end and this setup might just improve your overall sound.
I'm not saying this is the right way to boost top end responce, just stating what would be the effect with the settings mentioned.
Cap./Res. only change the Frequence Responce and can not hurt anything so mount your cartridge and give it a try. You now know what you can do to alter the responce of what it produces. Reduce cap. if it's to bright, or raise it if it's to dull. Do it with your phono stage setting if their available. If not, then you will have to do it with cables. It really is all about what sounds right to you.
Regards,
Don
