Hey there,
I was hoping someone could help me out with matching a cartridge's suggested capacitance to that of the tonearm wiring/interconnect/phono stage. I am interested in possibly getting a Clearaudio Maestro V2 cartridge to match my Clearaudio Satisfy tonearm, and up until this point have been told and read that these are excellent matches for one another. Though, after comparing the specs I am now second guessing.
The Maestro V2 cartridge has a suggested capacitance spec of 100pF, and the Satisfy tonearm/interconnect have a combined capacitance of 172pF (1.56pF/m X 1.1m). Does this mean that I would be nearly 1.75 times higher capacitance than the suggested spec of the Maestro V2 before the phono/pre even enter the picture? Maybe I am overlooking something? Specs are attached, any info is appreciated. Thanks
