Wait, let me rephrase that - with no RIAA preamp. I do use a preamp

I'm going to convert my fathers record
collection over to CD. Doing
some google research.
According to http://www.tracertek.com/newway.htm they claim the "new"
and best way to do LP to CD is to use a flat preamp, record at 24bit,
96kHz and then apply the RIAA curve in software after the fact.
Either before or after the DeNoise, De-Click, etc depending. I've
also seen a few other sites that say the same type things.
tracertek sells doze software to do the whole ball of wax but I'd like
to use Linux.
I haven't found any RIAA filters yet so I guess I'm looking at
writeing one. So does anyone have any information on where to find
the official RIAA curve to make a plugin from?
They also recommend using a pink-noise record to calibrate your setup
and then adjust the curve so it matches your system.
If you download JAMin you'll find that I've already put the RIAA
curve in the sample .jam files. I've used this to record directly from
album to 24/96 with no preamp. It works fine.
