In Reply to: Question about capacitance loading...eq-ing the sound of your cartridge? How does this work? posted by Mr Blue Sky on June 18, 2012 at 15:01:59:
I believe Ortofon recommends 100 to 600pF. I doubt if you'll have to add capacitance. With your preamp, tonearm cable, and internal arm wiring, you're probably somewhere near the middle. Others using the OM series say that a total resistance load between 32 and 42K, does the trick. You can use plugs (like above) to try different values. 400K resistors will net you around 42K. 100K will be around 32K. I suggest trying to avoid additional capacitance. The high end starts to roll off. Capacitors can be loaded in the same plugs if you want to try them.
