Hi All,

Back in the day when I were too poor to born (I were knitted by the WRVS and dropped throuht letterbox when me mam werent looking).

My €œHiFi€� Consisted of a busted Dansette clone with no amp or transformer (we used my train set transformer and a dropper resister). And the Gram input of a valve radio (we had a similar setup downstairs which my father had built into an old sideboard to make a Radiogram)

Anyway, I used to play 45s and later LPs on this.

I imagine the radio was probably just post war.

Would this have had RIAA Compensation circuitry built in?

Only the records sounded fine to me, which makes me wonder if RIAA isnt that important??

Or maybe it did (and 78s also used RIAA??)

TIA

Chris
