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

The circuit should have enough peak output current as it is.
There could also be stability problems with adding a buffer
in the feedback loop. Bear in mind that some op amps require
a minimum gain of five, and are not unity gain stable.
Your circuit needs the OPA627 instead, and looks like a misprint.
For some RIAA examples using buffers, see p. 6.11 here.

Hello
This circuit have a minimum gain of 1000, so the OPA637 would be stable in that circuit.
As any high speed op amp it need good decoupling capacitors very close to the op amp.

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.Hello

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.
