Technodec w/Michell moded RB250, Used P25, P5?


The question is self explanatory. Deal for a P25 fell through (not my fault), so the question is opened up again. I care about PRAT, accuracy (musicality), ease of use, reliability.

Anybody compared these decks? Is the P5 significantly better sounding than the P25?

Techno and P5 represent the upper bound on my resources. Anything I'm I'd be foolish not to consider?

Thanks!!

The arm will definately be much better on the Tecnodec. I just recently purchased the Tecnodec and put my older but upgraded RB300 arm on it. It was definately a considerable step up from the P3.

I heard the P25 a while back and remember it was not much better than the P3, so I would definatly not go that route.

I have no experience with the P5 other than I saw it at a dealer and think it it quite possibly the ugliest, cheapest thing I have ever laid eyes on. Just my opinion.

Have you looked at the VPI Scout or Nottingham Horizan at all? (simular price range)

Good luck and let us know what you choose,
