A potential reason for the OP to be suffering the issues is system synergy.
I remember a few years ago visiting a chap with a Linn/Naim system. Have to say that he played some vinyl, and it was jaw droppingly good. He then cued up his Naim CDX, which virtually ripped my ears off. Truly awful. I didn't understand why until I'd listened to a bunch of other systems. My opinion now is that the two mediums do tend to sound different. The result can be that if you optimise your systems for LP replay, then CD most certainly WILL sound ghastly. Of course the same is true the other way around. The only solution for multi-format users appears to be to get an LP spinner that is similar in presentation to a CDP (e.g. some of the Gyrodecks). -- Mr_Sukebe SB+, Bel Canto Evo2i, Impulse Ta'us, Coherent system cables, Stillpoints ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr_Sukebe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10609 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46547 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
