Finnaly got my Linn updated

I finaly got my Linn LP12 serviced by my local dealer, i posted awhile back saying that my Dual CS505-2 sounded better.
Well i got a new arm board, new bottom cover (old one was removed) and got a Grado Gold catridge, that along with a Grace 707 arm.
At first it sounded a little thin, but now it is becomming fuller and sound is really shining. It is sounding better than the Dual. (which i notice the Dual has more wow & flutter also).
I have not got that many hours on the cartrige yet, maybe 10 hours so i suppose it might improve still.
Anyway was listening to Stevie Wonder superstision, on vinyl, i had thought it sounded a little light weight compared to CD version, so i poped in the CD to compare.
Man... I never realized how poorly the CD was, lifless dull sound, 2 demensional, spitty highs.. I put back the record, it was superior except in the broad wall of sound that was comming out, but again 2 demensional, not as black back ground etc.
Anyway started playing supertramp, long way home.
Very good on the alblum close 2nd on CD.
I am just getting back to vinyl from long absence,(since 1990 I suppose).
This is going to be great! Its been so long since i was spinnig my records, its all comming back to me....
