CDs Vs LPs

Great input @atmasphere . Just curious if you think all the EQ curves various high end manufacturers use (eg: RIAA, Decca, Columbia etc) are accurate taking into account vinyl pressings from the 40's and 50's through to the present day? That seems like a pandora's box to me.

^^ I'm sure its not a problem but the older stuff that needs those extra curves are probably 78s.

@atmasphere What I meant is, there doesn’t seem to be a exact consensus on what the EQ curves should be for older recordings in particular. As I understand it that is because the Labels themselves changed the recording process over time. Sorry if the question is off-topic.

RIAA, Decca, Columbia

As I understand it that is because the Labels themselves changed the recording process over time.

In the case of the RIAA curve, to change that the label would have to dig into the pre-emphasis networks in their LP mastering electronics. That's non-trivial since they are trimmed to match the cutter head in use.
However a label isn't doing well to deviate from the RIAA curve since most of their customer base won't have access to equipment that has their curve- in a nutshell, its a non-starter.

The older EQ curves- Decca, Columbia and so on won't be changing, since they've not been in use since the early or mid 1950s.

I got back into vinyl about ten years ago. I’ve had a few Arc phono stages and finally ended up with an Asthetix Rhea Signature, going into an Aesthetix Calypso Signature.  There are many better preamps, but my budget won’t allow and I’m satisfied with my setup.  I have a Koetsu Urushi Black and a Dynavector DRT XV-s1, as my carts and am using Verastarrr Silvrstream phono interconnects.  My CD player is a Theta Miles.  I like the sound of vinyl, specially when I first start the lp.  I hear a sound that envelopes me, that I do not hear with CDs. I have been doing an A/B comparison, playing the same title of a cd and lp, cuing each at the same time.  I go back and forth to compare the sound.  Maybe it’s my hearing going away, but it’s getting harder for me to diffienturate between the two.  Most lps have an ambience, that a cd can’t provide.  I’ve said this before-wish I had a good RTR with some prerecorded tapes.  That’s the best sound I’ve ever heard.
