Trim

Each

cartridge

has

a

specified

load

capacitance

into

which

it

performs

best.

To

determine

the

capacitive

load

on

the

cartridge,

the

capacitance

-

of

the

ampl

ifier's

phono

input

circuitry

and

the

capacitance

of

the

turntable's

tonearm

and

output

cord

must

be

added.

Often,

this

amount

is

less

than

that

required

by

add

100pF,
