RE: Soundsmith explains RIAA and Strain Gauge

Posted by Werner on December 12, 2010 at 03:17:42:
"Attempts made in the distant past to absolutely correct Strain Gauge cartridges for any amplitude anomaly have required equalization circuits, which (...) introduce unwanted phase or time shifts."

I am sorry, but this is simply not true.

Record cutters, cartridges, preamps, ... all are minimum phase systems. This means that the phase response can only be flat (i.e. constant delay and no frequency-dependent time distortion) when the total system frequency response is flat, and vice versa.
