Fully upgraded Rega P3 vs P8


Once again, I'm seeking advice from you guys.  I want to first say that I really appreciate all the helpful suggestions I've received here.  I don't really participate much except to ask questions but I'm just eager to learn.

I have a Rega P3 with pretty much all the upgrades:

external power supply upgrade
white belt
groove tracer reference subplatter
groove tracer delrin platter
groove tracer counterweight
Apheta 2 cartridge (I got this at an incredible discount so I couldn't resist)

First I should say I realize I should have saved my money on all the upgrades and bought a higher end tt to begin with but the P3 was my first serious tt and the upgrades were part of my journey

I have a feeling that with all the upgrades I have met and perhaps surpassed the performance of the P6.  I'm wondering if going to a P8 on an RP8 would yield a significant upgrade?  I realize that my table is outmatched by my cart.  I'm loving the sound right now and I don't have the itch to upgrade.... yet.  I'm just curious to see what folks think?  

thanks so much

@orpheus10 did you notice a big improvement with the incognito rewire?  How does it compare with the other upgrades?  I found that the gt subplatter made the biggest difference followed closely by the TTPSU.  Is the upgrade on that level or less?  Thanks!
@guy-incognito  Thanks!  seems we had a similar journey.  I think somewhere down the line in the future lies a P8.  Glad you're enjoying yours!
Tone arm wire gave the biggest improvement.  Wire oxidizes over a period of time and doesn't conduct electricity as well, although you can't tell it until you replace it and notice the new clarity.

I wouldn't do it myself again, I would have it done by the people who sell the wire.

Happy listening!

When I upgrade, it will be to the Rega Planar 10. I don't have a permanent space for a turntable, therefore I like the light weight of the Rega's; I can easily set them up and take them down. That's in addition to the sound of course.
