Questions about stock Technics 1200GR OEM Phono cable

I'm looking for info regarding the stock phono cable that comes with the 1200GR.  

Im thinking of replacing it with a better cable but I'm not sure what capacitance I'm dealing with. 

I do like the sound of the stock cable, but just want "more" performance without altering the signature sound. 

Any thoughts are info?

I have an old 6’ pair of LC-1’s. Is this too long?

A phono cartridge with several hundred milli-henries of inductance (most mm's) will be sensitive to capacitive loading by the IC. Result: rolled-off high frequencies. MC's and MI's are immune to this!

Some MM cartridges required MORE capacitance to tame a rising high frequency response! Years ago Spectro Acoustics made a preamp with variable capacitive loading to account for this. I had one!
