Also the simple design in an AV preamp would not be able to follow the RIAA curve near 20kHz or beyond.
Parasound's topology is less sensitive to variations in the values of the resistors and capacitors used to set the three break points of the RIAA curve. Variations from the specified value of a component may be unavoidable due to manufacturing tolerances.
Second, it must accurately reverse the frequency response of the RIAA curve used during recording of a record.
