RIAA Equalizer Amplifier Design
This article explores the intracacies of phono amplifier design, culminating in a few practical designs. Special emphasis is placed on overload margins (critical if you want good sonics from your EQ amp), driving the EQ network adequately and noise. RIAA Equalization…

kx-amplifier: A very high performance 28 Watt class A Current Feedback Amplifier
The Hifisonix kx-Amplifier is a 28 Watt class A DIY Current Feedback (CFA) power amplifier featuring low distortion, wide bandwidth and fast rise/fall times. It can be operated either in pure class A mode, or in class AAB mode with…

An Accurate Inverse RIAA Network
The diagram above summarizes the interaction of the cutting head response (purple) and the playback EQ (red) which produces the final flat response (green). Note that the cutting head and the phono pickup (cartridge) are velocity transducers and therefore the…
