Ah, putting a ceramic (crystal) cartridge into a MM input does work, the low input impedance, it should be zero for a perfect translation, of 47k is so much lower than the 2 or more megohms needed for a 'proper' ceramic input. It can be argued that a ceramic into a low impedance and then via an RIAA correction is better than the classic hi Z input.
