I have a McIntosh C24 preamp and cannot find the input capacitance spec for the phono input anywhere.
What is the capacitance value?
I've got a Shure SC-35C cartridge on a RCA RP-190 wired in stereo and the treble isn't as good as it should be at least it doesn't sound as good as 45s did when played on my Pioneer PL-530 that I used to have.
If the input capacitance of the C24 is lower than 250pF (value that will give the flattest response from the cartridge) I'll add a capacitor to the input and see if that fixes it.
If the capacitance is higher than 250pF I need to figure a way to reduce it to 250pF.
If that don't work I'll need a better magnetic cartridge that tracks at 5 grams.
