Thanks for the response Ghostrider45. I am using a Denon DL103 cartridge with the P5 and was informed the cartridge was not optimized since the Rega arm would only come into its own when matched with a heavier one. Anyway I reckon the built-in phonostage in my integrated amp is the weakest link at the moment so it makes sense to look at it first, cartridge later.
Cheers.
