An article already existed at this page, created in September 2003 (by me). What happened to it? Where has all the history gone? Graham 02:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
All of this "new way" stuff is basically an advertisement someone shoved into this article - Maybe it should be trimmed? --69.193.129.39
The t.c. electronic Gold Channel pre-amp manual may very well have lots of useful information in it, but it is ultimately a product manual and the link doesn't really belong here, does it?Ciotog 18:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Misleading claims about Stereo records
I've removed a totally misleading section that claimed that some stereo records in Europe (i.e. Decca FFSS) and America (i.e. Columbia Stereo) were not cut using the RIAA curves. I've searching the internet for any claim that could support this, and the only ones come from this product:
AMR PH-77 phono equalizer FAQ http://www.amr-audio.co.uk/html/faq_ph.html
There is no bona fide technical document that supports the claims (of stereo records not being cut conforming to RIAA) that are shown there. The other "source" of this claim is just a comment on DiscoGS:
"This LP is pressed with Decca (FFSS) EQ curve; in order to hear the full glory of this LP, it is best to use Decca EQ curve on the photo amplifier to replay it. If one uses the standard RIAA EQ curve to replay it, the body of the violin will be missing and will sound and edgy. "
I have years of experience with the LP medium (and over 3500 posts in vinylengine.com, mainly regarding technical considerations of LP playback), and have never ever heard about a Decca FFSS (stereo) curve. Known curves are here:

The only non-RIAA curve used on stereo records is the TELDEC/DIN curve. I will add a paragraph regarding it soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flavio81 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
