Clearaudo Concept vs Rega P6

Looking to upgrade my system and have been looking at the Clearaudio Concept with the satisfy black tone arm paired with the Sumiko Moonstone MM Cart and the P6 NEO PSU with the Ania MC Cart.

My collection is mostly classic rock, some singer songwriter like Van Morrison and tom waits, and jazz. Also, prefer a warm sound.

What are your thoughts?

I had the Rega and then switched over to the Clearaudio Concept. Its much more robust.

@cafb71 Have you considered the -  Music Hall MMF-7.3 2 Speed Belt Drive Turntable - it's about the same price as the Rega.

Features: 
  • music hall’s unique dual-plinth construction
  • one-piece full carbon fiber tonearm
  • fully adjustable VTA, azimuth, and dampened arm lift mechanism
  • counterweight’s center of gravity is level with the stylus tip, is decoupled from the arm, and acts as a resonance damper
  • completely isolated/decoupled DC motor with 33 and 45 rpm speed controls located in the front left corner of the turntable, thus canceling any potential vibration from the motor/belt to the cartridge
  • motor sits on its own resonance-damping puck
  • precision stainless steel main bearing sheathed in Teflon® for noise-free, fluid operation
  • non-resonant acrylic platter with metal screw-on record clamp and soft felt mat
  • high-quality gold RCA connectors and detachable phono cable
  • adjustable tip-toe feet with anti scratch cups
  • low-noise, fully-manual belt drive design
  • built-in round spirit level for proper leveling
I'm  not sure if the arm is a good match to your existing cartridge

Just something else to consider - Steve

Well, I went with the Rega Planar 6 with NEO PSU, fitted with the Rega Ania Pro MC and also upgraded to the Eat E-Glo Petit Tube Phonostage.  Should have it all within 4 weeks or so.  Thanks for all those who weighed in.
