																	Ceramic vs magnetic cartridge fidobsa no you do not need riaa equalisation when using a ceramic cartridge into a high impedance about 1 m ohm flat frequency response input as a combination of the riaa recording characteristic used in making the record and the output voltage performance of a ceramic cartridge result in an overall. 
																	Magnetic cartridges require a special preamp to be used in place of a ceramic or crystal cartridge. 
																	Ceramic cartridge underside view showing stylus cartridge type no.

																	These typically have an output voltage of between 0 5v and 1 0v and this is not sufficient to replace crystal cartridges originally having outputs of 2 volts and above. 
																	2 the moving magnet cartridge. 
																	A moving magnet mm cartridge is the most common type of phono cartridge. 
																	A magnetic cartridge more commonly called a phonograph cartridge or phono cartridge or colloquially a pickup is an electromechanical transducer that is used to play records on a turntable.
