Let me share one more experience with you.
During weekend I got hold of old Carver CT-17 preamp ($800 in 1990). It has phone stage so I replaced Supratek with Carver.
It got the some load 47kohm like Chenin.
1) LP playback on Supratek is much louder them CD Playback, with Carver it is opposite way Cd sounds much louder.
2) Even my wife says (she is not audiofile) that with Chenin old Fisher sound better (resolution and musical wise not dynamic wise). With Carver in line LP charm was gone, sound was pretty plain, uninvolving. CD sounded much, much better. If I head LP with Carver first I would never got interested in LP. What is interested with CD there was difference but not that big. With LP it was huge. So I not sure anymore if LP is that much better them CD or just Supratek makes it sound that much better. I invited some peoples from work they did hear alike that cheesy Fisher with Supratek sounded better them AA Cap with Supratek.
Those mp3 lovers have been shocked that LP is that good :)
Maybe AA Cap would sound much better with different preamp like LP lost his charm with Carver ?
