I decided that I couldn't tell the difference between a Linn Sondek and a Systemdek with the same cartridge which saved me ££££££££££s....
I could tell the difference between a Linn Sondek with a SME Series III and a Yamaha CD player tho - the Linn faithfully reproduced every scratch and dust particle on the disc... the CD didn't...
I knew then that vinyl was dead...
