Raul is incontrovertibly correct about RIAA EQ. **Anyone** who says otherwise is not only wrong, but likely trying to sell you something :)
If you want to hear the recording engineer/musician's intention, your RIAA EQ should be correct. Incremental differences of a fraction of a db are readily audible, as the EQ covers a spectrum rather than a single frequency.
Again, just as in the case of detail, the better your system the more profoundly you will experience this. BTW I do not equate the cost of a system with how good it is!
