If your playback EQ does not include cartridge/groove mechanical
effects, and specific cartridge response (and effects), then you're
probably not very close. Using a test record for a signal source and
including the entire cartridge in the signal path is the *only way* you
can possibly do that.

You should read what I wrote, but at least you are now admitting you are NOT
checking the phono *pre-amp* then, and were thus incorrect in saying so.

No such thing. I'm saying to use the test record as a source instead of
a signal generator and "inverse RIAA network", and adjust the response
of the phono preamp as needed for "flat" output. That gives you as close
as you're going to get to what was on the master tape. One of the things
you learn when you try that is that it's just about impossible.
