Nighthawk - Capacitance

Is anyone using an AT 150MLX (or another cart that specifies 100-200pf of loading capacitance) with their Nighthawk?

Interesting that the nighthawk does not specify input capacitance anywhere. most high quality phono stages that I can think of specify this somewhere.

 

Most of the 150-200pf will be made up by the phono cable, it is VERY rare to come up with less than 100pf between the cartridge and the preamp, and more common to have 150pf. Its like they planned for that to happen ;)

I seem to recall someone stating that the Nighthawk's resistance is set around 220pf. With a lot of carts it probably wouldn't be an issue, but with something like the AT, I suppose there could be. Perhaps someone has tried a match-up already?
