N-set, the usual way of dialing in RIAA is the anti-RIAA curve, trying for null. This might be from any source with appropriate output voltage/impedance fed to the corrector input. The obvious problem with the LP is that it depends on the arm and cartridge set-up, as well.

I hope you have a trim-able cap or R in the circuit, or some way to avoid soldering parts in and out! I have seen but not tried special "plug-in" jacks for the Vishay S102s, maybe use some grease. Unfortunately, the corners are hard to check, due to "moving target" reality, versus static "model" values. OTOH "good enough" really is in this case, and there are, after all, so many other variables in the phono repro chain.

Best regards,
Paul S
