Capacitance loading question

[Removed]

Dan......a great cable to look at is the Furutech AG12 its capacitance is around 42pf per meter.......

On the budget side: Silver Tonearm Phono

Surprisingly I am extremely close, if not right on 92 degrees to the record surface. The loop was a huge help, and a nice tip from MF.

I have adjusted the capacitance for the phono stage on my C1000P preamp to 50 pf, and with the 300 pf of the Wireworld Silver Eclipse interconnects the 2M Black is loaded with 350 pf. That's a bit high, so I am going to look for some lower capacitance interconnects. I think I would prefer to be in the area of 250 pf total load capacitance.

Thanks for you help.

Dan, you might also look into the Zu Mission interconnects...that's what I've standardized my entire system on and I am very happy with them. They have a new design that is designed to lower noise and improve signal. They can make stuff to custom lengths, and Sean Casey of Zu even made me a custom phono cable with a Cardas 90 deg. DIN on it so it would fit nicely under my SME V arm on my Michell. Give Sean a call at Zu and tell him that Stephen Scharf sent you. They will also be able to give you the specs on the capacitance. They can even put the cables on the cable cooker for you for a few weeks to burn them in at no additional charge.

Spoke with Zu just two days ago when I could not find a phono cable on their website. Ask if they would build a DIN-to-RCA phono cable and the answer was that they no longer build phono cables.

Dang. Sorry about that.

Thanks, Jeff, I just spoke to a vendor for these in the Bay Area and I could get one to me by sometime next week.

Jeff.......Does A/V Solutions sell the Furutech AG12 phono cable?

Sure do.....PM sent

Here is a very useful tool for getting the headshell screws to the perfect torque......these torque drivers have been professionally calibrated to 0.4Nm.......try getting the exact torque on both headshell screws and it will bring the sonics up a notch.

Oh, Boy! Furutech AG12 phono cable on the way.
