Using an output buffer with a phono preamp circuit ?

Hello

I've read that a phono preamp riaa feedback can be hard to an op amp.

I have the Jung phono preamp circuit and I have few OPA637 for that preamp, do it would be better to use an output buffer with that circuit ?

Thank

Bye

I think you mean it places demands on the opamp's performance, yes that's true since the gain is high, leaving less open-loop-gain left to improve linearity compared to many use-cases for opamps.

Fortunately the RIAA gain is higher at low-frequencies, complementing the way open-loop gain rolls off at high frequencies.

No need to worry so long as the RIAA circuit doesn't try to have too much overall gain.
