Rega P5 owners

I recently purchased a Rega P5 & Exacta cartridge. I would like some feedback from owners (or others) on the TT PSU option (power supply unit). Does it offer a true sonic improvement? Until I can get a record vacumm cleaner what is a good option to keep records clean?

Hi RYder,

We are using the same speakers, the SHL5s.
A friend also recommended DL103 on the Rega P5.
Did you have to use the spacers with the 103 on the RB700 arm ?
Also, did you replace the stock counterweight on the RB700 ? does it have to be replaced when using the DL103 ?
I understand on Dynavectors, its best to replace those counterweights ?

Thanks for inputs.

Hi Nolitan,

I didn't have any spacers with the cartridge and everything is stock on the RB700 arm including the counterweight. Everything works out fine. I have no experience with Dynavectors. Good to know you are also using the SHL5s. The strength of the P5 shines through with the transparency of the speakers.

Another nice cartridge, especially for the money, is Rega's own Exact 2, which I have with my P5/RB700.

Art Dudley also spoke highly of the Exact in his review of the P3/24 (or one of the other Regas!).

Dear Ryder

In short, the DL103 mounts directly on the RB700 without any issues ? thats good to know!!!
I too heard many good things about Exact 2 with the P5/RB700.

Guys, owners of P5/RB700- what does your system comprise off ? anyone here using revealing speakers ? does the P5/RB700 shine thru in systems costing over us20,000 ?

Thanks for inputs.
