RIAA Curve on LPs same for CDs?

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.

Hi Swampwalker, if you get the chance check out the Stereophile Test CD1, track[19] (J.S. Bach: Concerto in d, after Vivaldi, BWV 596, Allegro) as this track was recorded with pre-emphasis. Seasons greeetings to you all, regards, Richard at www.vantageaudio.com

BTW, all cd players should know how to de-emphasise a signal that has been recorded using pre-emphasis and recognize the pre-emphasis flag. Regards, Richard.
