Ask him about the RIAA Equalization that is inherent in vinyl pressings. Everyone seems to forget about this. Vinyl can't physically record analog dynamic range, so the RIAA EQ drops the bass a few notches that the amp SHOULD compensate before it goes to the speakers.
If you have the function to cut the RIAA EQ on your amp, then try it. Without it, the sound is thinner, bass response is clean but not there as much.
Even as late as the 90's, some of those vinyl pressings that were 're-engineered' for CD are terrible because the audio engineer ignored the EQ curve.
A common complaint on AAD CDs was poor bass response. That's why.
