I recently took the plunge back into vinyl used Rega P25 w/ Super Else

I personally think vinyl sounds better - sod the noise floor! There's
something more fluid and musical about a good analogue source.
However, I find my Transporter comes very close, plus I get a display to

To comment on the noise floor of a vinyl LP vs CD, there no way an LP
can hold a candle to CD; CD has a lower noise floor; end of discussion!
That said, I know of few recordings (especially popular), which come
anywhere near to using the low noise floor CD offers. Many popular
recordings do not e

Hi
I've had an Arcam Alpha CD player and amp from when they didn't have
numbers after their name ('88, in this case) and a pair of Linn Index
speakers[1] - same vintage.
What do you think? 20 year upgrade might be permissible?

I think Motown used to play the loudness game on their 45s and LPs.
They often had, to my ear, a sort of "crunchy" sound. The loudness
wars did happen on LP and especially 45, but not to the extent that
it's happened with

I ordered Endlers. I don't expect to receive them for another month.
There are other options mentioned in this and a couple of other posts.

I have had no problem enjoying the TP even w/o attenuators. The volume
(at least w/my amps) is not ear splitting loud on even the loudest
