Calculating total capacitance


I would be very grateful if someone could provide me with the final cap pf rating when using the Rega P9(supplied rca cables-70pf?)and the Rega Exact 2 MM cartridge,the cap of which I have not been able to find.

I have a Steelhead phono which I would really like to dial in to the above combo.

So far I've done a lot of experimenting,and I am looking for some consensus.

So fellow Steelheads,if you have used your phono with a Rega set up like mine, what cap setting did you prefer or would you suggest?

At present I am using 55 db gain, 47K, and the default 150pf.

All opinions would be valued and appreciated.

According to this loading calculator

minimum capacitance loading is the best.

But since everyone's sonic taste is different, it is best to make adjustment by ear.
