A shoebox size black box. Nothing unusual about it from the front.
Note that this is only for MC cart. No MM.

However, on the back, there are two resistive and capacitive sockets along with both RCA ( they seem to settled on the WBT's Nextgen goldplated plugs ) and BNC inputs for arm leads.

And it comes with different value DIN plugs.

Can't find the value you need?
You can also make up one as you see on the 375R value resistive plug.
Here, I put in a 220R resistive plug and none for capacitive load. ( default capacitance is 100pF and 10k ohms for resistance )

You can also use two resistive plugs on both sockets and create a different load value.
Instead of using switches, changing a load value is literally just put in the plugs of your choice. (or none at all if it needs to be )
The combination is pretty limitless for most cartridges.
A nifty way to get a customised setting.

It's heavy as the entire circuit board is mounted on a 1/2" suspended brass slab. In that the middle panel where the sockets sit are separated from the main chassis and wobbles. ( I reckon to help minimise the mechanical vibration )

It's a well-thought out piece.
A nice one.
