[78-L] A doubt about EQ curves

[Doug Pomeroy]

Señor Cubillo,

If flat treble sounds right to you, don't be afraid to make your  
transfer that way!
Don't be afraid to use your ears!

Most "rules" are only valid for a certain period of time, and a  
certain number of
recordings.

But when you remove the RIAA ("RIAA eliminated"), are you also  
removing the
bass compensation which is a part of that curve?  (RIAA is really two  
curves, one
on the top and one - or two -  on the bottom.
