Problem with turntable/cartridge?

Hello all,

I have noticed that my CD player provides a much greater sense of the attack of notes, especially piano notes, than does my turntable. I use a Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated amp, a Rega P25 with a Benz Micro cartridge and PS Audio phono section. Is there something inherently incompatible about my analog components? I'd appreciate any input, help, comments, suggestions, etc.

By the way, my CD player is the fabulous, but little known, Opus 21 by REsolution Audio.

Thanks in advance.

Your Benz Micro H2 has 2.5mv output and is designed to run into a MM input. Loading should be 47k.
The other thing to check is the VTA, from memory my friends Benz Glider on a Rega required either a 1.5mm or 2mm spacer under the arm pillar to get the VTA correct.
