MC Phono Stage with Large Capacitance Load

（中文在後）Most MC phono stages do not offer variable capacitance loads. Even when they do, like my Tom Evans Groove+ SRX2, only offer values in the pF range. This phono stage from Chord is quite unique in providing an option to add 2.2uF to any impedance value. And such a large capacitance load indeed helps smooth the high frequency response of a typical MC cartridge, which was not observed before with pF-range values.

絕大多數MC唱放不提供調整電容負載，即使有，像我的Tom Evans唱放，可調值最大才到幾百pF。雖聽得出差別，但測量頻響時看不出差異。這台Chord唱放竟然可以在任何阻抗值，選擇加或不加2.2uF的大電容值。而在實際測量時真的看到，加了之後可以將MC唱頭高頻常見的上揚現象予以抑制。
