Since every phono preamp has RIAA EQ?OK, so it's a smart alecky question, but with a serious point. Both phono and analog tape have EQ and de-EQ as part of the picture. In fact, I understand that a lot of record mastering facilities have their phono cartridges individually EQed to get flat response so the mastering engineers can get the best evaluation of the cut lacquer in comparison with the master tape. A lot of audiophiles seem to equate equalization, tone controls, etc. with herpes, but proper equalization has the potential to IMPROVE sound quality, even with the extra circuitry involved. IMHO, YMMV.
