Sk- My CAL LC-10 has demphasis but it has never lit. I wonder if it was turned off in the software (bought it used) Can you provide a rock, bluegrass or folk type CD that was recorded (is that the right term?) with pre-emphasis so I can check this out? In addition to intellectual curiosity, some CDs just sound a little "hot" and I've always wondered if this is the reason. And thanks to Richard for his detailed explanation. I always knew it was a kind of equalization to make up for some quirks in the LP medium, but didn't know exactly what. Your frequent and generous sharing of your knowledge helps make this a great site.
