How is the resonance peak measured? Is it audible? If yes, can you describe/characterize it, measurement notwithstanding?
Would one find the loading network in the SHRO? What about write-only heads...would they benefit from a loading network?

By sweeping the head via a flux loop.

Could possibly have audible artifacts if the repro circuit isn't band limited.

Of course!

That's a record amplifier design matter. You're heading way off-topic here. (And I don't have time for it. Sorry!)
