Jcarr, thank you very much for posting I appreciate it. I will read through the forum, gather my thoughts, and post in this thread again. I am also wondering, what do you find is the typical inductance of a moving coil cartridge (low output and also high output) ? I get that several generators can be used but I am just curious what your take is on this. Are we in the realm of 5-500uH or are we more in the area of 5-500mH?
I can see what you are saying. I will put it into practical terms for anyone else who is reading so they can follow as well ( all 2 of them). Suppose that you have 100pf cable from the cart -> Sut and another identical one from the SUT->Preamp. and you are using a 1:10 SUT. Then...
The cart sees:
-100Pf + 100pf *sqrt(10)= 416pf
-The 47K load gets reflected back at 470 Ohms
-and the inductance of the wire is meaningless even after -being reflected with a Sqrt(10) multiple tied to it. The -cartdrige inductance is x * sqrt(10) and can be substantial depending.
The SUT sees ( bad phrasing, Through the SUT...):
-100pf *10 +100 pf = 1,100pf
-inductance from the cart x*10 = 10X
-and 40 Ohms from the cart *10 + 47K = 47400, or just 47K
