Special Design Features Low Noise The Conductor-LP has a very accurate RIAA equalization curve. This High Gain Design Circuit curve is accurate to better than 1/10 dB over 10 octaves. The accuracy of this curve does not vary with an adjustment change of gain or cartridge loading.
Typically if the cartridge sounds too bright more capacitive loading will be required. The typical Moving Magnet cartridge has a fairly predictable output. The Conductor-LP gain in moving magnet is fixed at 42dB and Resistive loading is fixed at 47k-ohm Moving Coil...
