I would suspect your turntable is the main culprit and it may even be magnified by the cartridge/tonearm combination. Turntables require lots of time and effort to properly set up and calibrate in order to get top notch results. A CD is quite the opposite and you can get good results with minimal effort.

I have heard nice turntable with expensive cartridges that were properly set up and they blew me away. They had a thick rich sound that was very easy to listen to. I am not saying that CD's are bad, as they have their pros and cons as well. It's just that TT's
require more effort.

If you are really interested in doing the Turntable thing and money is an object, I would suggest looking into a different table such as a Music Hall. Don't go to cheap as you will run into similar issues. Audio is not a cheap hobbie to begin with, so I am sure you know what I mean.
