Umm, No. Most crystal/ceramic cartriges are built with a natural RIAA curve
in them. Of course it will probably be a pretty lousy match to the legit
curve, and you may have other problems. Might be worth looking at
impeadances. Maybe  put 10k across the input and see what happens.
If your boom box has an attempt at a graphic equaliser you
can play with that.
