Re: Pre-amplifier for a ceramic cartridge.
Is that the cartridge equivalent circuit capacitance (which determines load resistance needed for good bass response) or just what you see when you poke it with a capacitance meter?
What's the make/model of the cartridge? That would be more helpful.
In simplistic terms most ceramic cartridges need a high impedance (>1M) input flat response amplifier, gain needed depends on sensitivity of following amplifier circuits.
