All: please ignore the trolls. We are here to understand the capability of the unit Mr Kung is representing. There is no interest here in arguments about what curve is best for what record, or who gave their opinion. That is best addressed in another forum. Ditto on the weak political banter. Thanks

Yes. Even if the theoretically correct curve is RIAA, the tonal balance of these early recordings may be off and it is possible that other corrections make it sound subjectively better.

Was a lot more difficult than initially anticipated (significantly more difficult than elekits) and was very surprised & over the moon for it to work with no issues. in a few days time i’ll write up some notes on the build, mistakes made along the way and things to look out for. The project really turbocharges your soldering skills if you haven't done point to point before.
