Seeing all the posts about RIAA filters, I can only say I hope none of
the participants passed on the gene of obsessive shortsightedness that
draws audiophiles into the wastelands of RIAA. Vinyl discs are bad
enough when good clean CD's are available, but RIAA is a bodge to
correct another bodge. Two bodges don't make it right.

uses only CD and so has time for more music

Jute,

More bad fiction from you.

What media doesn't require some bit of tinkering? FM transmission has
pre-emphasis; tape has NAB equalization. Even your beloved CDs have a layer
for Reed-Solomon error correction, sampling rates, and D/A conversion.

Better stick to bike rides and pasta.
