Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??

@bdp24 - i would be very interested in knowing how the arms differ.

Do they offer different compliance?

Is their compliance matched to a given TT model?

I've been more focused on their plinth design than their arms to date

Thanks for any info

The Audiomods Series V is $1000 with the micrometer (not sure I need or even want that) and a few dollars less without.
Maybe the Audiomods arm would be a nice match for my cartridge I don`t know.

 A Delrin platter for $350 can be added in for added mods too. 

So at this point I`m looking at another $1250-1350 to be added to the P5.

It`s kinda looking like a late model P9 or an RP8 might be a better deal after all is said and done ?? 

I'm not sure you will notice as much of a difference moving up the Rega line as going to a heavy platter design. Maybe just stick with what you have unless you are finding a particular parameter lacking. 

As a budget alternative I have used ZYX carts in Jelco 750 tonearm and the carts work quite well with the heavier arm.

scm-2 listings that can still be negotiated for less.
The Classic is about double the cost of more mods, and itsa NEW table, clearly superior in build. Since sonics are subjective, just how much "better" it is than the P5?

For a little more, the Prime will have the nicer arm and VTAon the fly.

I will say the modded P5 is reasonably close to the Calssic,but the stock Classic is closer to an uber table more,then any modded P5 will ever be.

Youre treading dangerous waters $$$ dumping more money into that P5
