Vinyl isn’t just about the warmth of analog—it’s also about precision, especially when it comes to the RIAA curve. In this episode of The Audiophile’s Guide, we explore why records are cut and played back with intentional equalization, and how the RIAA curve preserves fidelity, lowers noise, and restores musical balance. Discover how your phono stage decodes this curve, and why getting it right is essential for hearing vinyl the way it was meant to sound.

The Audiophile’s Guide publishes daily. Want to learn more or join the HiFi Family? Visit PS Audio. To get your own copy of Paul McGowan’s The Audiophile’s Guide, get it on Amazon.
