Carts option for Rega P5 + RB700 arm


hi guys,

I'm thinking of building a system base on a Rega P5 and RB700 arm. What carts under $500 can you recommend that works well with this combo ?

Thanks for the much help.

Dear Raul,

I have not yet bought my analog Rig but i'm considering the P5 due to its price/value/performance ratio.
I'm also considering the VPI Classic. Slightly more pricey but seems to get great reviews as well.
Which company makes the aftermarket vta for the rega ?
For carts i'm leaning towards the DV20xh or the dyna 17 D MK3.
Thanks for the inputs. Any more ?
Dear Nolitan: This is one source: Pete Riggle VTAF but I'm sure that some Rega tonearm owners could you help better than me about.

Any more? ++++++ I think that you, the music and your audio system deserve a " little " something better analog rig that what you are thinking at the moment but the choice of it is your very personal previlege.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
Dear Raul,

Thanks for the source input.
Hmmm, at this point i dont want to invest too much cash on the TT playback as I dont have much records.
Times are difficult so i would just get a modest TT playback and be happy and contented.
Nolitan,

I see from the other thread that you're leaning towards the P5, and if you go that way I concur with Raul that VTA adjustment is a must. I own the Pete Riggle VTAF for my Rega RB250 arm, and it makes a huge difference both in sonics and adjustability. I can also recommend the Michell underslung counterweight, which helps a great deal with tracking and bass. Email me offline if you have questions.

David,

thanks for insight. Where can one purchase the Michell underslung counterweight ?
Are the ones made for the RB250 do the same as the RB700 ?

Thanks & regards
