Bought my Chenin to primarily get back to spinning vinyl, as I was running my Wadia 861 CDP direct into my CAT amps.
While the on-going debate exists between those who prefer a CDP direct and those who do not, I can attest that the Wadia sounds better through the Chenin. Whether that's a commentary on the Wadia, or the linestage, it's certainly a statement about how well the Chenin adds rather than detracts.
However, since getting my new vinyl rig, the only time I insert a CD is to see how bad it sounds when compared to its LP counterpart.
Vinyl's somewhat more of a hassle, but man, am I having a blast with it. I having more fun than I've ever experienced in my 30 plus years of being in this hobby, and the Chenin is providing a big chunk of that enjoyment.
