Question on loading and interconnects


I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how length and capacitance of phono cables affects cartridge loading.

I am currently loaded at 400ohm, which is the max setting below 47k on my phono-pre.

Is there a way I can experiment with cables (higher or lower capacitance maybe?) that will create a percieved load closer to 1k or 1.5k ohm?

Any info appreciated, as i'm pretty much clueless on this one.

Thank you all for your responses, very much appreciated...especially the circuits-for-dummys type site.

Raul - I have no "problem" with the cart, just a desire to try more loading values. Of the four available on the phono boards the 400ohm is certainly the best for me, and things are sounding the best they ever have, although a touch (and I do mean just a touch) on the dull side at times. I thought bumping up the load might put me in absolute nirvana.
