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

I've listened to a P25 and a P5 on the same system: ProAc D25s, with Ayre V-5 amp and K-5 pre-amp. The main difference to me was the P5 had more weight in the bass. The P5 was a little more rhythmic, marginally more extended treble. Both models are extremely reliable and easy to use. I bought the P25 as a demo, and with the savings haven't thought twice about it.

Best wishes,

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,

There's a horizon on Audiogon at the moment with an RB300. Supposed to be a very good deck.
