On my unit vocals are abit blown out? though it could be the cartridge.
Not quite, as with subjective evaluation lowering the L versus C resonance with increasing C, damped by R, would increase the perceptibility, making the „sound“ brighter.Which cart are you using?
The Fosi sounds towards the bright side, at least with AT carts of the VM series and tends to brighten my M75 Shure too.
I think this could be due to capacitance, the lower the brighter is the sound, and I guess this box has a pretty low value.

normally..that s the inverse...hihi
Not a general rule at all... It depends from the "starting point".lowering the capacitance value attenuates the treble response....

Above some values trebles are rolled off.
there is no shortage of literature on this subject...in a few clicks...And this is referred to what?
Measuring what?

This approach on y and "RCA plug" was marketed in the 70s ;-)If you wanted to experiment with the effect of capacitance on the phono input could you use a RCA "Y" adapter and connect one of these to the 2nd leg?
Temporarily, of course...
as much to limit the quantity of "metallic" material
yes many times...standart mesureament...
there are tons of these measures right here...
sorry...find out...
no... perhaps if a version more complete and successful come..Low capacitance makes sound flatter, if the cart is on the bright side of the spectrum (and it is the case of the AT)... It will sound bright.
If you go above the "turning point" could make it sound "fuller" or rolled off (depending on the point of view).
At 200pF it is spot on.
Just as I described above...
Read again my message...My guess is that this Fosi has a low capacitance.
Did you measure it?
Wrong terminology. Lowering the capacitance causes the output to roll-off sooner. Every cartridge presents a unique load to the phono input. The RLC of this load can be 'tuned' by changing parallel Resistor & Capacitor values. There will be some combination where the combined values yield an optimally flat response. Go BELOW that capacitance and it will sound dull. Too much and it will sound too bright (harsh, sibilant).Low capacitance makes sound flatter...
