Default The advantage of vinyl playback systems

I recently, after reading all the posts debating the various merits of of
CD and LP, went out and bought the latest and greatest budget CD player, but
now have a problem.

I am having difficulty determining how to change the what-see-me-jiggit that
should allow me to tailor the sound to suit the different types of music I
want to play. You know how you can change the cartridge in your turntable.
In the past I had a couple of turntables with different cartridges mounted
in each, and each cartridge had it's strong points that resulted in them
giving more enjoyment on a particular type of music.

Is there any way to achieve the same result with a CD player. I am not
achieving the same nostalgic satisfaction from the CD player that I achieved
from my old turntables.


That has already been done for you by the producers of the CDs. They
are designed and produced to sound at their "best" on a non-fiddling
CD player. CD players don't have the same failings as all that
mechanical gubbins in a vinyl playback system and there is no need to
make any changes to suit different music types.

Just press the "go" button and enjoy the music.
