I am soon to be the owner of a new P5, Exact II and seperate power supply. I know all about "not messing with the Rega sound." However, I AM curious re others experiences. Esp the Expresimo Heavy Weight and end sub, thanks.
"The groovetracer? Is that the one sold by Music Direct and several others? " No, that is 'deep groove'. I've read on Audio Asylum that the Groovetracer is better, in that the quality is more consistent. I can attest to the fact that their acrylic plater (the most substantial one available) is an absolute work of art. www.groovetracer.com
I, too, have the same Rega P5 setup with the TTPSU. Mt dealerer AND the USA distributor was very adamant about not 'tweaking' the Rega sound. Also, if you rewire it will void your warranty. I am quite happy with my stock sound.
No,a record clamp is not needed.A record clamp on a Rega turntable is rarely deemed a good idea - would interfere with the natural anti-resonance build of the table and acrylic is a much more nuetral material than those Rega glass platters.
