Hi, I have not noted added noise or distortion in my setup but I am curious about the noise and distortion you and David Pogue have found.

Why/how would it add phase distortion unless it were not designed and or built correctly?

I have not compared it to an all in one variable eq phono stage which would be preferable if it was as good or better than my current combination -- McCormack Micro Phono Drive Rev. A w/powersupply + Reequalizer. Perhaps going forward I will find an all in one unit I like.

One thing I find more important for vintage record playback is ease of use and -- I love the layout of the controls of the Re-equalizer and find it to be a great tool to play a wide variety of pre RIAA records.

The manual is available for free and is an excellent guide for anyone interested in pre riaa records whether you use the Re-equalizer or not.

Thanks for the post. Could you explain the use of the 100K resistor again. - alaskahiatt 11:49:51 01/30/15 (4)

Thanks again, but I was wondering why the increase in resistance? - alaskahiatt 14:38:28 01/30/15 (2)
