Capacitance Question

So I have a clearaudio maestro and performance turntable going into a simaudio lp5.3 preamp. The maestro wants a 100 pF load. The turntable has a 1.2m cable with a capacitance of 156pF. So that's about 177 or so. Am I correct that the 0pF setting in the lp5.3 is the way to go?

Why would clearaudio make a tonearm cable that could match the capacitance of their cartridges?
