Dazzlingmd - I owned a Rega P-7 for a while; it was nothing to write home about. It was significantly bettered by a Linn LP-12, which was subsequently trounced by my WT Amadeus. Two of my tables are WT and one of them has the same cartridge you are getting. The WT Amadeus is a phenomenal table. Enjoy!
Just ordered a WT Amadeus and Dynavector XX2 mk2
I'm moving from a Rega P25 (with all the groovetracer upgrades) with an Ortofon Rondo Bronze, to the WTA and Dynavector XX2 combination. Am I in store for a treat? My system with the Rega and Ortofon was sounding overall quite good, so I wasn't desperate for a change (had just added the Merlin speakers, which I'm now obsessed with), but I knew that quality-wise, my turntable/cartridge combo was the weak link, so I bit the bullet and treated myself to some christmas presents.
What I'm mostly wondering is whether I should temper my expectations because while this will likely be an improvement, it won't dramatically affect the sound outside of an A/B comparison (which I can't do any more since I just sold the Rega table today), or whether I really am going to get my socks knocked off.
Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.
