A phono preamp with equalization selector

Hi all,

what do you think about the record equalization selector? I have several Deutsche Grammophon records from the '70. A friend noticed me they should be played with Teldec equalization plus inverted polarity, features that my phono preamp doesn't have. I know this is typical issue if you have old records (60-70s and before). What do you think? Do you agree? If so, which machine may you suggest me?

Thanks!

"RIAA being for stereo. AES and LP were two alternate mono-only curves and the ’78’ curve was an approximation of the most common 78 curves of which there were quite a few."

That President II was 1958, the year Stereo LP’s came out.

MONO EQ.: all my 40’s and most of the 50’s Mono Jazz LP’s are playing thru my MM RIAA EQ. Close enough to AES and/or LP EQ?

78's. Using a Modern TT with 78 rpm, correct stylus, they would also go thru RIAA.

ralph,

That Fisher Control Panel is not in use.

I meant: all the old 78's and Mono LPs (I have 30's; 40's; 50's) we are playing, (even when using correct stylus and cartridge) is going thru RIAA EQ in our modern setups
