Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?

I am feeling some sellers remorse right now....last week I sold an early restoration by Chris Thornton of Artisan Fidelity my Thorens TD 160.

Plenty of fine albums out there from the 60’s and 70’s for under $10.
as far as outperform...I suppose if you are only looking for "speed" and clinical  results it will not benefit you.
Only commit to vinyl if you are all in to take a long and rewarding trip down Vinyl lane.
Take your time and enjoy the journey .

CD player dude!! CDs blow away vinyl every time!!!

My friend thanks for your intrerest , i learned only one thing in the last 7 years by my stream of continuous experiments in listenings and with the 3 embeddings: The electronic component you owned are less important than controllings the 3 embeddings: the vibration-resonance mechanical controls, the electric grid of the house and room, the acoustical space with passive but also active methods....

Most people has never experienced that first hand and they think only of upgrading to satisfy their need without paying attention to the many defects linked to an improper controls of these 3 dimensions....

I dont want to repeat what is in my thread " miracles in audio" you can read it or go to my virtual page systems for details.... Dont be fooled by the photos of my systems, the sound is at his maximum potential S.Q..... :)

If you have questions i will anser them on my thread or in private....

@mahgister...By acoustical embeddings do you mean room treatment? If so, I’d be interested to know what you do. I feel like I should explore this before spending money to change components

I can't stand the noise level from vinyl.  i also like streaming better than a CD player because I can listen to hi res.

@larry5729... I assume you mean background white-noise or record surface noise. If I am correct then you have never heard a really good vinyl rig. My turntable and phono stage are dead quite and have an ultra low noise floor. Most visitors dont even realize I have a record playing until I point it out.
