I found it really unfair that a very interesting thread on BJT and FET preamps was closed because the original creator personally thought it was taking a direction he didn't like or was interested in. The thread was this:
https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analogue-source/357649-fet-vs-bjt-input-phono-preamp-new-post.html
I didn't think the original thread creator could ask moderators to close a thread because of an opinion. If that is the case, then it is wrong, it should be changed.
A thread does not belong to anyone, and if things started to go the direction they went, incorporating in that case a very important element to the equation, which was cartridge load, it was because the whole system of a RIAA preamp, could only be considered complete when the cartridge is included.
In that case because of what the simulations, LTSpice or any other, that I think were brought in to the action. Other participants, like Marcel vdG and Hans Polak, added their own information, and warnings, about cart and preamp interface. Hans did start showing some LTSpic sims.
I disagree completely that the suggested thread was the one to discuss the interface beween a cart and a RIAA preamp

The OTs claim arguing why the thread should be closed is completely wrong and does not sustain itself. His arguments are not valid and do not apply to the rules of this forum.
What should have happened is a warning to his behavior, instead of closing the thread.

Carl: A key rule is that you DO NOT discuss moderation. I suspect this thread will be closed soon for doing just that. You will notice that, as well as Thread closure a certain person has SinBin time. PM me if you want my opinion, but I would let this one lie 🙂
No problem, I will open another thread, where we can discuss these matters as they should.
I don't care for letting those other matters lie. We may do them right.
