Can I use Ravnos Cache to pay for part of an equip? eg if there are
only two counters on it and I equip a 3 pool equipment (say, an Anti-
Malk getting a Marionette) can I use those 2 pool counters and pay 1 of
my own pool as well? Or would I have had to put an extra pool on it
during my master phase (obviously, only 1 per because of the During X,
Do Y ruling) if I wanted to use it, leaving 1 pool on it at the end of
my turn?

Card Text for Ravnos Cache:
Master: unique location During your master phase, you may put 1 pool on this card and add 1 blood from the blood bank. When equipping a minion, tap this card to use the blood counters on it to pay for the cost of the equipment. This location may be burned by any minion as a (D) action.
Comparing this to the card text for Ravnos Carnival, which has the closest effect that I can think of:
Master: unique location Put this card in play and put X currency counters on this card, where X is the number of Ravnos you control. If a Ravnos you control successfully performs an action that requires a card (e.g., employing a retainer), you may use counters from the Ravnos Carnival to pay some or all of the cost in blood (but not pool) for the card. When the last counter is removed, burn the Ravnos Carnival.
Notice that the Carnival specifies some or all of the cost whereas the cache specifies pay for the cost. You would have to have enough to pay for all of the cost IMO, as the specification has been made to pay for some of the cost on an analogous card.

You can use it to pay part of the cost (and then pay the rest from your
pool as usual).
