Here's an Aurorasound Vida reproducing a 1 KHz sine wave.



and here is the same phono stage applying RIAA correction to a 1 KHz square wave



That's what it's supposed to look like. You need to remember what a square wave actually is.
Square?

Look, my understanding of these things may be rudimentary in comparison to guys like yourself but the fact it can't produce a square wave cannot be misinterpreted, surely.

My understanding is that the squarer the wave, the better the response. Is that not correct?
