Arthur, what phono-preamp and cartridge were you using? People trying to put together an inexpensive fail to realize that they really need three pretty good components to beat CD. It can be done, but it's tough at the bottom end of the price scale.
At all points along the price scale, using one weak front-end component out of three can ruin all the good things in the other two.
