Resistive vs capacitive loading


Could you explain which parameter is more important for a low output MC: resistive or capacitive loading. My observation is that most phono preamps have only the feature for adjusting resistive loading but not capacitive loading. Is this correct?

Dear Chris: +++++ " My observation is that most phono preamps have only the feature for adjusting resistive loading but not capacitive loading. " +++++

this is because almost no one phono stage designer cares about MM cartridges and in MC ones the capacitance has no significant effect like the resistive one.
