I was pretty dumbfounded to read that the software can accomplish the RIAA equalization... I assume it either has very sophisticated DSP, or the results are not as good as using a phono preamp. If it was better than using a preamp, I think everyone would just use it that way...and not bother with a preamp. I am curious to know from people who have used a direct cartridge output & RIAA EQ within the software, how well it worked. ...and maybe what cartridge you used & it's 'rated' output level. I'm looking for a reality check - if one's turntable cost more than PC, is the direct from turntable method equal to, better than, or worse than using a preamp first. (Thinking about using NYAL SuperIt phono-only preamp - after I fix it). Thanks Murray
