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.

Thanks for the responses. The reason for the post was to try to help me set expectations. I have a tendency to have crazy expectations for upgrades, and in some instances that results in severe disappointment when the differences are of the more subtle variety. Sounds like this shouldn't be subtle, though.
