Hello I am puzzled by this. I used to play LP records with a Magnovox
Console. As you know it is a furniture like cabinet enclosing record
players, amps, and speakers, and is nothing hi-fi. Now I at last have
a set of acceptable gears to play LPs. When I tried my records on a
Linn, I noticed that the sound is amazing if the records are clean.
But if I am playing a worn record, then the sound (especially the full
orchestra played loudly) is even more horrible than from the Magnovox.
In general, are good LP playing systems more sensitive to worn
records? Or good systems should prevail regardless of whether the
records are worn or not? I appreciate your input.

S.S.
