Wayne, I think you posted somewhere a short list of the digital RIAA EQs which you'd found good ... accurate and Minimum Phase ... and the ones which weren't.

Could you please help a beach bum with the info

I've searched the 2 huge phono preamp threads and this one without success

You mean it isn't???

I wanted to provide another set of visuals to illustrate the self-defeating nature of hyper-compression when the crushed version of the master is used for vinyl. Compression and limiting is a good thing. In a preemphasized environment hyper-compression is simply self-defeating. But but BUT ... 3dB ...

I think ANY non trivial EQ will 'unwrap' the 'hidden peaks' in a severely compressed/clipped signal. The limiting case is MLS as used to test speakers. A long pseudo random sequence .. which is a 2 level digital signal is LP filtered and the result is near Gaussian Random White Noise. Loadsa funky m...

Since the description of the effectiveness is somewhat subjective I could add an objective take on the effectiveness of reducing vertical modulation with each method. I would also toss my subjective opinion in. These are of course my 2 considerations. One objective and the other subjective. In the ...

I think there are 2 considerations when using MS filtering. Firstly is getting rid of subsonic crap .. especially for the vertical (S) signal. For this, at least 2nd order is required and peaking is bad. The other consideration is crosstalk which will be poorer due to unavoidable phase etc issues. T...

... derived loudspeaker crossovers where one active filter is subtracted from unity to generate the other output. The real filter can have multiple pole response, while the derived output is only -6dB/oct. There's 2 considerations. Firstly, in theory, you can have both outputs 'symmetrical' (eg hav...

You mean no 1/f noise?

Looks like TI had a change of heart and moved the LM4562, LME49710 and LME49720 back into production on an 8 inch line. .... Lets hope they got the burst noise problem under control. I wonder if the original NS made parts had the burst noise. In da old days, it was very dependent on the exact proce...

I've done loadsa S&K filters in commercial designs and have never had problems with stop band stuff ... but I don't do DAC reconstruction filters or anti-aliasing active filters. My main grouse with S&K filters is they are more sensitive to component tolerances than practically any other filter topo...
