Moving Magnet cartridge need to select capacitance. It will be
impossible to give suggestions for correct capacitance with any
given cartridge, due to the huge variation in capacitance on the
cables. The optimal value is selected by listening.
There are five Capacitive loading switches with values of 100pf,
220pf, 330pf, 430pf and 550pf.
The correct value is that which gives the best overall tonal balance.
Typically if the cartridge sounds too bright more capacitive loading
will be required. The typical Moving Magnet cartridge has a fairly
predictable output.
The Conductor-LP gain in moving magnet is fixed at 42dB and
Resistive loading is fixed at 47k-ohm
Moving coil cartridges are the typical cartridges of choice for the
serious Audiophile and generally the lower output moving coil
cartridges are preferred. The Conductor-LP may be used with even
lower output cartridges without an auxiliary step-up transformer.
To operate the Moving Coil pre-amp, you need to select Moving
Coil (MC) "On". In addition you will need to attach the turntables
phono cartridge to the Conductor-LP Moving Coil input.
Your next task is going to be to set gain and Resistive Loading.
The available gain settings are 52 dB, 62 dB, & 72 dB.
There are five Resistive loading switches with values of 33ohm
100ohm, 470ohm, 1k-ohm and 47k-ohm.
