Done the same test. My ears aren't good enough to distinguish between them either.

I have had a couple of months of not being able to ride due to a little op so I concentrated on researching affordable upgrades to my system. These have included a precision sub platter to reduce wow and flutter. It does. A new nutrile/cork mix mat to reduce static. It does. And a big investment in a Vincent PHO-8 phono stage with linear psu to reduce hum and interference from surrounding equipment. This allegedly also has a
Warmer more tube like output with more bass. It does.
I also have a vintage planar 3 plinth, lid and motor incoming. All the TT upgrades will be transferred to that and the rp1 returned to original spec for sale. I’ll then get a 24v rega motor to make the old girl sing like a bird.

Re:
Can you knowledgeable chaps rate this set up for me, in terms of, is it any good....? Without getting too technical! I've been given it as a customer has upgraded, and I really liked the look of this for years. Super cool, as they reckon it's all at least 30, if not nearer 40, years old....retro, which is exactly what I was after.
Phillips CD840 CD player
Rotel RA611 amp
Monitor Audio System R252 speakers
Target speaker stands
And a lovely ancient wooden cupboard that's nothing to do with stereos but they had the set up housed in it and wanted shot of that too!

Cd players didn't physically exist until 1981 so it's not 40 years old, first production units appeared around1982/3
Amp is 44 years old though! If its big, silver and covered in knobs
It is a nice budget system, add a Bluetooth dongle and you'll be able to stream music/ radio from your phone etc
