Is there a list of cartridge capacitance?


My phono stage has various cap values, but I can't see the cap value of my cartridge(Clearaudio Talisman V2 Gold)anywhere in the literature from Clearaudio.

I do have the cap value for my tonearm cables,28pf/ft.

Has anyone found a list of cartridge capacitance that I can use to properly set the values on my phono stage?

Please,I've done enough experimenting, and the answer is there are numerous settings that "sound good", I would just like to confirm if what sounds good to my ears jives with what is prescribed to sound the best vis a vis the correct match up of capicitance between cartridge and tone arm wires.

Thanks Ncarv, that's a very useful site, unfortunately, no info on my cartridge.
Dear friend: Your Talisman is a MC cartridge that is not affected by capacitance, you don't need to worry about. What you need to worry is about load impedance.

Usually MM/MI cartridges are the ones that needs an specific capacitance load, normaly a LOMC does not needs.

Regards and enjoy the music,
