Confusing, ain’t it?

So I have nothing in either slot but a 400 ohm resistor in each channels l/r slot on the very left. It’s stated as custom value slot

Ahhh….so you don’t have the standard jumpers that seem to be indicated?

Yes, it does look confusing, but if I understand, installing jumpers at #2&4 on the MM slots would give 200pf capacitance, and a jumper in the #5 slot of the MC slots would give 980 ohm resistance. At least I believe that is what I am seeing.

The Smile is sounding great!!!

I have several jumpers, in my limited understanding of my manual’ guide, I feel not too confident in making comparison/guesses. Especially when I’m getting great sound now .

Steve, it seems like if you have the standard jumpers, you have many combinations to try. You really cannot hurt anything by experimenting 🙂

Not sure you really need to use the custom slot/jumpers. Might have worked for the previous owner, but may not be necessary for you. Perhaps a custom resistance jumper to attain 400 ohm? That is not offered via the standard jumpers. Again, Peter states a min. 470 resistance for the Sussarro.

Just guessing here.

Also may be worth calling Soundsmith to ask what capacitance would work best with the Sussarro, as they don’t give that info (N/A).
