Hi,
I have a Shure V15 III catridge that works best at 400-500 pF capacitance loading.
The Preamp quotes 40pF loading, cables are supposedly around 100 pF and so logically I should add a 300 pF capacior, but I would prefer to measure if this is possible.
My DMM is not up to snuff, I have been recommended to buy an ESR, but I thought I would ask everone here what is normal practice in this case.
I was intending on leaving the preamplifier off, taking the leads off the cartridge and measuring from that point with the tunrtable plugged into the phn stage (valve)
Thoughts?

you must turn on the preamp, play a test LP with a sweep up to 20 kHz, and select an adding capacitor for the criterion of the most flat frequency response at higher frequencies
