SME3009 S2 Improved - detachable headshell, capacitance question
Hi everyone,
I have the original SME cable, one end is the 4 pin attached to the arm can. The other end are SME dull grey RCA’s.
I am trying to find the capacitance, of this tonearm lead to compare with my various cartridge manufacturers cable capacitance recommendations.
My phono stage (schitt mani) input capacitance is 100pf. So e.g. the Shure SC35C recommendation says Optimum Load is 450 pf/channel for cable and amplifier input (do they mean phono stage amplifier ?)
Presumably therefore a tonearm cable of equal to or less than 350 pf in this example would be correct.
What is the sound effect of more or less capacitance than the optimum?
Cheers, Steve
