CDP caused tinnitus?

I have noticed over the past several years a bit of tinnitus developing. It seems to be aggravated by (naturally) listening to music, but I have narrowed it down even further...

When listening to cd music it becomes worse- even while listening to the first song or two.

But... when I listen to vinyl- no problem. No ringing, no nothing.

Any ideas on this? I have experienced it with two different cdp's in the system. The cdp's are older (Sony x7esd and another Sony changer for non critical listening) Think a new cdp would help? or what could be going on here?

Excellent Isolation of your CD player and conditioning of your entire system will reduce a 'ton' of the cd 'noise' that bothers your ears.
I have extreme tinnitus and have therefore have gone to extreme lengths of isolation and found it 'transformed' my listening pleasure(and I listen daily).
I use an Equitech 2Q balanced transformer for the dedicated AC power to my system, and an MIT Z Iso HC and Z Ztabilizer ll for my CDP. Stunning improvement. Feel free to ask for details. Good luck.
