I`m looking for a broader range of options...thanks
Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??
I`ve been enjoying a nice Rega P5 with Groovetracer upgrades (minus platter) but am thinking about a change now.
Question: Should I add additional upgrades to this table like a better arm and a better platter or would I be further ahead just getting a different table ?
I`m pretty set on my phono stage (Herron VTPH-1MC) and cartridge (ZYX AIRY 3) the room has been treated and the table is on a Rega rack.
Thanks
Steve

Former P5 owner and long time record freak here. If you're simply into hearing your records at reasonable/affordable level you're fine. Upping your game in step with the rest of your system will make you aware what the P5 lacks, and would never have regardless of tweaking. IMO, you're standing at the crossroads of the audio abyss. The P5 will not, even with the PSU, spin the platter precisely with a [email protected] unless it has an AC motor regulated with a Phoenix-type controller. Putting a $1K+ LOMC on a P5 is questionable.You're already at the point you lost a minimum HALF of your investment. I sold my tweaked P5 at massive loss, but the new owner was thrilled! Its a buyers market used. Plenty of choices and you're in the drivers seat. My ears are pleased,but my wallet isn't.There is no right answer. |
