Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??

It seems to me that your current cartridge & phono stage are of greater use with a better TT.

Maybe the Audiomods/Rega  are very good for a reasonable price...my Funk Firm/Rega based arm is to die for!

I agree...I would like my phono stage and cartridge to be able to shine their best !
Might look for a mint used Rega RP10

I'm curious to see what the OP decides on, since my path was similar.

I certainly miss the simplicity of the Rega philosophy-just put a record on and lower the arm.

The difficult decision however, is where do you draw the line on tweaking$ and justifying the sonic improvement? 

Post made while listening to my now dated stock Classic(except Mapleshade brass footers and obscenely price maple slab) with Audio Technica ART9.

My P5 just couldnt keep up with the VPI. This of course is my subjective opinion.

@tablejockey,

Thank you for making that distinction! Very important.

A main consideration is (one's personal preferences).

slaw, the wall bracket you have there in your profile looks interesting. I hope your project was a success?

Im fortunate the 100 year old wood planked floor of my place doesn't add the footfall dilemma. I find the low tech(and pricey) Mapleshade philosophy doing its thing with my table.

At this point, only a MAJOR$ system overhaul would satisfy my ears, and that just ain't gonna happen because I'm about $75k short!
