Upgrade modded P25 to P7 or uprade cartridge
Yes, this was helpful, Mordante.I need to get to a dealer and hear VPI for myself.

Very sound advice, Frank. Thanks!BTW, I've seen that P7 platter spinning, and I can see where it might be a tad distracting.

Mordante: I've considered looking at the VPI, but haven't yet listened to one. I like the Rega sound. Can you tell me what you gained in your move from the P25 to the Scout?

Wow! Thanks for these links, Raul.Learsfool: Thanks for the recommendation. But I have a P25, not a P2. Do you think a stock P5 would outperform it?

I have considered a speed controller, Jfreck, but for the price, I'm not too far off from an upgrade to a pre-owned P7, which comes with a TT-PSU.

Raul: Do you have any particular MM recommendations within the $550-600 (new) range? The ones I know of are Ortofon 2M Black and Clearaudio Aurum Beta.Stefani: I do have an ungraded counterweight. I had forgotten about the rewire option.Thank you ...

Can someone tell me if the feet are adjustable? 
New Beatles remasters
I thought you were me for a minute. I bought the same six you did, and I bought them at Target b/c the giftcards help offset the cost of at least one.Thoughts on sound? None yet. Haven't had the chance to put them in my system, only the computer. 
Rega P7 dimensions?
The outer surround on my P25 is removable. I would assume the same is true for the P5, P7, and P9. But I can't say for sure. Mine is attached by a few screws, and if removed, the platter extends beyond the plinth in the front and on the left (abou... 
Rega P7 dimensions?
My bad. I see now that you actually wanted specs for the P7. That same website above lists the following specs for the P7:18.90”L x 5.12”H x 14.96”D 
Rega P7 dimensions?
I have a P25. I would assume they have very similar dimensions. Maybe not. But since nobody else has yet responded, here's what it measures. (NB: I'm rounding up to the nearest 1/4", which is really only a 1/16 or so in each case.)17.75" (L) x 4.5... 
REGA VTA Question
You could always install one of the many VTA adjusters and experiment. I use the Origin Live threaded adjuster. It's easy to install and use. Here's a link:http://www.tonearm.co.uk/vta-adjuster.htmI don't care for the Rega protractor. I've had far...

Can't balance arm with Tecnoweight
I understand what you mean Ad. What's more, I just moved the weight back on the slide tube, as you suggested, and could balance the arm. So this is good news. Although I must admit that I still don't know why it wouldn't balance properly when the ...
