Schiit Mani 2 phono box setup?

[ccawker]

So i just picked the Mani 2 up and a/b it with a Fosi S2.From my point of view the Fosi is much warmer and the Mani is a little bright but I think i don't have the settings correct on the Mani.
I'm using an Ortofon 2mBlue on each tt,and Ning it thru a Sansui AU717.
One caveat,if this matters,but the Fosi is being played thru a Pro-ject Debut 3 and the Mani 2 is the Fluance RT87,If that makes a difference.
The settings underneath that I have on the Mani i don't know if they are correct for the system.

Depending on your phono cables you may have too much capacitance for that cart with the current setting. Try switching the 47PF & 100PF dip switches back to O which should bring you back to the factory setting of 47pf (plus whatever your cables are). You can also try just having the either the 47PF or the 100PF set to I to gradually increase the capacitance to see what you prefer.

Too much capacitance can make some MM carts sound harsh.
