Not necessarily but most often. The turntables manufactured in the old GDR
seem to have the equalizing preamp builtin. Nice feature...

This is a rather easy (and working) solution. I was told that Jamin has a
preset/curve for exactly this. The RIAA equalization is just an equalization
and as long as you do not overload your inputs with the distorted signal of
the turntable, you can equalize the RIAA setting yourself...

Have fun,
