Downunder,
Thanks for the comparison. That's what I would have expected to hear. So, in a way your thread has come full circle and you've answered the initial question yourself.
Based on my experience, I agree. That's why I love my sp-10s and have an interest in all top DDs. Once they're properly isolated they seem to all behave quite similarly. That continousness and bass slam are due to the fact that there are no transients complex enough to slow these things down. In fact, if you forgot to dry brush the LP before start up go ahead and do it while playing. The table still won't back down. Legend has it that the mk3 held speed with a man standing on the platter.
Enjoy the P3. It's a gem. Maybe one day I'll end up with one(or the DP 100, PS-X9, or L-D07). Too many tables, too little space.
