DC-coupled Phono stage: Bass pole 50Hz; Bass zero 500Hz; Treble pole 2.

122KHz; Passive pole ~59KHz 8-17-2021

← “0dB” = +40dB

“AT540ML” MM cartridge: 330Ω

>DC resistance 800Ω
>Coil impedance 2700Ω (1KHz) R5-C1 = added pole @ 59KHz
>Coil inductance 460mH (1KHz)
>Load capacitance 100-200pF
C1
8.2nF

C1 = 2% polyprop; C2, C3 = 1% polystyrene; R1 - R4 = 0.1% metal film; Hi-pass filter (rumble) Fc = ~12Hz pole; C4 = non-polar Nichicon “Muse”.
Polystyrene caps have centered leads, clear ends and appear to be extended-foil axials. Turntable wiring + interconnect cable capacitance = 195pF.
