You bet. Linn, the makers, worked on the principle that to play a record, your base point should be to rotate it perfectly accurately at a perfectly uniform speed. The better you did that, the better the tone arm and stylus could extract the information from the record, and the more information you got off the record, the better it would sound. After all there is no point in amplifying something massively, if all you are amplifying is a mush.
A bit like enlarging a picture - creating a 20 x 16 enlargement can actually look worse if the information doesn't exist in the base image because the lens is not top quality

Sad but true - try Radio 3, Classic FM or Virgin Radio at 160 kbps and certainly I think that, providing you don't get hung up on the fact that vinyl records suffer from a few clicks & pops, musically my LP12 still sounds as good a my CD player
