In Reply to: I had Jim's "FILTER"... posted by Cougar on December 18, 2024 at 15:29:18:
...the real bastardization started back in the 1950s by whoever was responsible for first naming the RIAA curve filter in phono preamps a filter, rather than an "inverse filter".
Electronics and our hobby have more than a few of these, which can be quite confusing at first, at least until we accept them "as is". Fixed bias of many tube amp's output tubes is anything but fixed, for example. I'd have called it "user adjustable bias" but then I'm not in charge of such things.
One of my personal pet peeves is the term monoblocks, or the more pretentious French 'monoblocs' which some guys write. They're mono amps, thank you very much, but again, I'm not in charge. I find that adding "Blocks" is block-headed, but I'm sure not going to swim against that tide of of tradition every time I see someone write 'block'.
You simply repeating the name of what Jim Hagerman calls his product was acceptable, in my opinion. Hagerman naming his filter "inverse", while technically incorrect in the truest sense, is also correct in that it's the inverse of the inverse filter inside every modern phono stage.
