Matching a phono preamp to a cartridge...

[louped garouv]

So, I was reading some HP BArney Oliver stuff recently...

a question I have, is what's the math behind matching a cartridge to a preamp, generally?

is it the formula here in the Barney Oliver pre-amplifier schematic the same that would be generally used in other circuits also?

it's the R1* formula, bottom right...
the resistor is just behind the cart in the diagram on the left...

Shows the math and offers an online calculator.

(I'm running a Shure V15 with about 50pF and 100k Ohm using a buld-in pre)
