I don't know if I ever paid close attention to capacitance. In fact, I know I haven't. Maybe I should? How would I know if my current setup is optimal in this regard?

What type of cartridge are you using?

With a Grado Sonata3, probably no need to manage capacitance. The Grado MIs have a much lower inductance than most MMs. Ortofon 2M inductance is 600-700 mH; the Grado Sonata3 (low output) is 6 mH. The combination of high capacitance and high inductance is what creates excess brightness with MM cartridges.

Don't worry.

Thanks, gents.
