We're going back to setting the Ortofone Black. As you remember,
manufacturer recommends values between 150pF and 300pF.
Our cable is 60pF so we need to set up In Iskra1:
from 90pF (150pF-60pF=90pF) to 240pF (300pF-60pF=240pF)
The nearest value is 100pF. Set sw.6 to ON. (sw5, sw7, sw8 OFF)
Other possible settings for Ortofon Black(a cable with a capacity of 60pF):
47pF + 100pF
100pF + 100pF
100pF + 220pF
47pF + 100pF + 100pF (sw.5 ON, sw6 ON, sw7.ON, sw8 OFF)

Audiokultura Iskra1 is a phono stage with a passive RIAA filter placed between
two ultrafast, laser-trimmed amplifiers. Each amplifier has an indepandently
adjustable gain. The first amplifier before the RIAA filter, named GainStage1,
has two gain levels: 30dB and 40dB
For MM and MC High Out cartidges GAINSTAGE1 must be 1-ON 2-OFF
For MC Low Out cartridges GAINSTAGE1 must be 1-OFF 2-ON
The second amplifier, located behind the RIAA filter, called GainStage2, has the
ability to work with four levels of gain: 15dB, 20dB, 25dB and 30dB
