I find that surprising.Even my generation back planer3 with upgrades consistently sounds better than the same CD reissue recordings and sacd on one.I hand clean my LP's with the mofi brushes and microfiber towels,sure there's better at a lot more money.Even with a few of my cleaned LP's the stylus can get caked up with residue and really detract from the sound.It's a gradual thing sometimes also,you don't notice all at once so I deep clean the stylus every listen with thick brush,just the light brush from the cleaner bottle won't do it.
Poor sounding analog?
After 25 years of not having a turntable in my system, I finally purchased a new rega RP3 which came with their ElysII MM cartirdge.
I pulled out one of the 500 or so albums in my basement that I used to enjoy, cleaned it thoroughly and was incredibly dissapointed in the sound.
I have a McIntosh 2300 preamp which has never had any burn-in for the phono preamp section. However, I cant believe that new tubes would sound this flat.
its a very simple unit to set up. Nothing tricky.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help!
