Thanks for your responses. I've seen a lot of conflicting information regarding capacitance.
What I find interesting is that Clearaudio will sell a cart that wants a 100pF load with a tonearm that has a cable with 177pF of capacitance. It seems you couldn't match the capacitance with the cart unless you cut and reterminated the tonearm cable.
It's probably not a big deal. I moved the jumpers in the lp5.3 from 100pF to 0pF so I should have 177pF going to the maestro. I'm not sure I hear a difference to be honest.
