Question for Steve at hififarm
Can you explain what you mean by loading as it relates to tt phono cables? I assume this has something to do with impedences and matching a cartridge and phonostage and the effect that cables have on loading. Is this true? Is it the inductance or capacitance of a cable that impacts the loading? or something else? And lets say you want a cartridge to see a 100 ohm load at the phonostage and using stepup tranformers and resistors a 100 ohm load is present, how does a cable change that? or does it?
And lets say every analog configuration is unique, which is pretty much the truth... if nothing is the same, does a user have to figure what he has and then get a cable that matches what they have? If so, then how does one figure all the numbers out?
