Well some ceramics were not at all bad. The deram for one.

Of course I'd imagine it would be easy enough to make a
little amp for the magnetic cart and match it to the high
impedence input of the sharp. I'm a little perplexed though
why the Sharp did not hum like mad with nothing connected
at all.

I have 0 experience with ceramic carts. but the Sharp seems to
be a VERY well built unit overall. I would choose it, AS IS,
over /anything/ under $150 made today.
