This is the Simple Preamplifier and High to Low impedance Converter
Circuit Diagram. This circuit matches the very high impedance of ceramic
cartridges, unity gain, and low impedance output.

By `loading` the cartridge with a 2M2 input resistance, the cartridge characteristics are such as to quite closely compensate for the RIAA recording curve. The output from this preamp may be fed to a level pot for mixing.
