Costs a fortune, what else one could expect from the house, and no idea how it sounds.
Actually in my assembly I'd have a space to put small motors.
There are number if phono-correctors that implement multiple EQ curves, the friendlier is probably is AMR PH-77. However, my feeling is that multiple EQ curves is not necessary right solutions, or at least the solution that I would like to have.  You see, there are dozens of curves and in 50s and 60s different labels used all imaginary curves, not to mention that they do not very tightly follow the specifications of driven curve. I do not even mention that many recordings were recorded with no proper frequency balance.  So, all of it EQ curves indiscrimination in my mind set the satiation that use of a specific fixed curve not really useful. I would rather prefer to have a regular remote-controlled graphic equalizer and I would be able by hearing to set proper balance 100s times better and faster than by guessing the curve or by any other means. Of cause, the graphic equalizers are no used in level of audio that I implied but we do have 2-band curve equalizer in phonostage anyhow, so why do not make the phonostage EQ naturally adjustable? The “naturally” is the key word in this as the implementation of slightly different sloped shall not bring any new EQ efforts.
