Hi Ginger,
Sorry that no one's taken U up on your suggested mod!
What U say sounds very reasonable. Do U know whether other commercial RIAA equalisation stages use this trick?
A GEA friend of mine made the following comment when he came round to listen to my system a few weeks ago (we were comparing my GK-1 MC phono stage/AKSA "Paris" head-amp combo against a complete external MC phono stage which I have):
"... the way Hugh has performed the 75us equalisation. In my experience it is impossible to get a good result except by using passive EQ for this time constant (ie. not feedback!). I also believe that the 75us rolloff must be blocked at 50KHz (or somewhere between 30KHz and 100KHz) by inserting a resistor in series with this cap. I discovered this way back when I was working with Trevor (Lees), and read recently that Allen Wright (Vacuum State Logic) is a also a keen advocate."
Is this the same as the mod you are suggesting?
Regards,
Andy
