Upgrading from Rega P5 TT


Looking to upgrade from a Rega P5.
Does it make sense to go from the P5 to the new P6.
Is this a latteral move?
Or do I have to go up the ladder to the P9 for better performance?

Keep the P5 and add the metal aftermarket subplatter.
I own a P5 too.
And yes the P6 would be basically a lateral move.
Spending the money on the subplatter would be better.
Do you have the separate power supply? add that in too.
Go for a better cartridge..
A better phono box
I use a Benz Glider with my P5 ($1,200)
And a Bryston BP1.5 phono ($3,000)
So I would say from looking at your other gear, going to a better table is not going to do much, until you improve the phono box, and cart anyway...
