That seems to be exactly what the tracertek page was saying. There is
no one "right" way to un-RIAA a record. So why not do it in software
where you can tweak with it.
I *know* I need a preamp. The question is just which one?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I also have some 78's that mix and
not just 33's

I don't have a preamp at all. Thats part of
what led me to that page.
Recommendations?
Well, you're going to want *some* sort of preamp. One with
selectable/defeatable EQ curves would presumably be best.
This will also be dependent upon the age of the specific recordings being
transferred. Early on in the industry, each record company had their own
'proprietary' curve, and high-end players had the ability to select which
curve to use. That was why the RIAA eventually stepped in (late 40s?) and
developed a standard that all the companies could agree on.
