I have in fact been listening to lp vs cd.
I have some classical titles on cd/lp as well as the following:
Pink Foyd DSOTM
Steely dan: gaucho
Rush: signals
Santana: moonflower

In each case, the Lp was more fluid,. detailed in the mid, and compelling to listen to.

Alas, the needle jumped during 1812 overture, and I have to troubleshoot a left channel noise.

I am going to upgrade my used k-18 cart to a new Ortofon kontrapunkt cart. I would like just a touch more sparkle on the top end.

Other than that, this thing is a sonic magnet! You are welded into the sofa to listen as long as it plays. That is a good thing!
