I just read Fremer's review of the PH1000 in S'phile published in 2022. He spends most of the space saying why the multiple alternative compensation curves are unnecessary. He offers evidence that RIAA was the standard, almost immediately after the introduction of stereo. (But the conversion from mono to stereo recording was not simultaneous in all countries where records were made, and he fails to provide dates.) He does not really say much about SQ, which is what we really care about. This suggests to me he was not overwhelmed by the SQ.
