To be pedantic, they DO require the same equalisation, it's just that by
feeding a ceramic cartridge into a low(ish) impedance (like 47k-100k) they
approximately self-equalise, so you don't need an input with RIAA
equalisation.

To be pedantic, you don't need *to add* the same EQ, the records already
have an EQ designed to work with the inherent response achieved with the
standard input impedance. Cheap compatibility was a considered part of the
original design.
