Upgrading from Rega P5 TT

Not personally, but I trust the opinions of some of those who have.

Trip, I have owned Rega, VPI and Basis turntables. They all have their own ups and downs. You made a very good choice for the $$$. While others may disagree, that is the nature of this hobby. As a current VPI owner, I say that you made a good choice, relax and enjoy the music.

Good advice, enjoy the music. Not everyone is going to agree on everything.
That's what makes this hobby fun.

Happy Holiday's!

Wouldn't the P7 be a lateral move, since you have you have a P5 with the Groovetracer subplatter and counterweight? You already have the speedbox. The tonearm on the P7 is the RB700, which is the same on the P5.

I have a P5 with the suite of Groovetracer products(subplatter, counterweight and delrin platter). I think my next move might be swapping out the RB700 tonearm for a RB1000. If not, I just may save up for a used P9. I think going for an RP6 or P7 would be a lateral move.

I would get a price break because I have the power supply.
