I want more from my Rega P5

How can I get more from my Rega P5? My expectation of a modest analog rig exceeding a digital set up is left unfilled. I bought the Rega P5 new with a Dynavector 10x5, a Dynavector pre amp amd Chord Cameleon Silver plus interconnects and put it on a Rega wall stand. I will buy the TT PSU soon, to assure myself I am giving this format a chance. Any advice will be gratefully received.

some upgrades fo me on an NAD533 which is a cloned P2 have been:

Michel Technoweight (end stub and counterweight)
replaced feet with isopod feet/cones
TWL Strange Tonearm Tweak (search this forum for that one)
DeepGroove subplatter
Teflon arm wrap
DIY spotmat

Each change brought about noticeable improvements and together the sound has brought about better definition overall and on attack/decay, detail, dynamics, 'swing' aka PRaT.

Have a look at this: Rega Review

The P5 uses the RB700, an evolution of the RB600 on the P25.

Twochannel guy, I can only offer from my experience. I upgraded my P5/RB700 to Incognito wiring. I found nice improvement there. Later, I upgraded to the TT-PSU. In my opinion, this is a mandatory upgrade...it elevated the table's performance significantly. It's a nice table with the TT-PSU, wall shelf, and proper setup. If you can't do a wall shelf, buy an Ikea Lack table top and screw some cones into it and set this on your rack with the Rega on top. I used this before the wall shelf and it also worked. The P5 is a nice table. Enjoy!

What is it that you feel your analog setup lacks in comparison to your digital rig?
