Inputs dont make sense. There has to be a switch to put it into ceramic.
It needs to go in after the phono preamp stage.
Magnetics have very low output. If you use a mag on ceramic you will barely
hear it. & vica versa if you use a ceramic on a magnetic input it will
blast you out of the house & be distorted. Thats why separate pre amp
are sold for computer & upgrades.

I posted the schematic, and excepting for the input voltage values listed on the schematic its exactly how my stereo receiver is wired up, there is a toggle switch on the front panel that says "Phono 1" (Top Position) and "Phono 2" (Bottom Position) and the top position ("Phono 1") is for either Ceramic/Crystal Cartridge input or Magnetic input, and the Bottom Position ("Phono 2") is Magnetic only, this toggle switch is in addition to the mode switch which switches between AM, FM Mono, FM Stereo, Phono, and Tape Head.
