Post Subject: Fighting with RIAAPosted by N-set on: 7/16/2012

I'm precisely fighting with dialing-in the RIAA....
I tried to follow (parts of) Romy's description earlier in the thread, but the anti-RIAA method
and test LP give me a huge difference, much bigger than 0.2dB (rather 10dB or so):
what was +/- flat using anti-RIAA becomes awfully peaked at 10kHz using cart+test LP.

So I'm wondering how to dial in the RIAA? Using the actual cartridge and correcting for
it's resonances/SUT intercation in the phono
or make the phono as flat as possible without a cart?
Those two methods in my case give diverging results.

Cheers,
N-set
