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.

I think you will be thrilled with the move. I have only heard Rega on a few occasions, but you are getting a great turntable. My GTA isn't going anywhere.
As a matter of fact, I still use a standard version Amadeus in my den system.
You are also getting an excellent cartridge. Dare I crash the pre-party and ask if your PS has ample gain for a .3mv cart. Cheers -Don
