@gnoworyta which arm is fitted to the P3?
Turntable - The Next Step
Hi All. I currently have a Rega P3 turntable with an Elys 2 MM cartridge and my phono amp is a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II. I am looking to upgrade in the near future. What would be the logical next step up to significantly improve my experience? In an effort to limit expense, will replacing one part of my set up (i.e. cartridge, amp, turntable) do the trick with this kind of budget - phono amp < $800, cartridge < $400, complete turntable , < $2000? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Recent experience. I have a Linn Lp12 with Kore, Cirkus and an Ekos 1 with sticky dial issue. It sounds wonderful, in tune now for almost 2 years. I spend alot of time on setup. I was using the old vintage tonearm cable as the sound was excellent saw no reason to change. While at my local dealer saw a trade in Revelation DIN cable at a decent price. Purchased it. I can only say change of cable made such a noticeable difference. i am a believer in cable effects and have several upgrade cables. But I wasnt expecting the magnitude of the difference the cable made. Thats something you might want to try. |
I have been into high end audio for 50 years, turntables at the beginning were the only source. Looking at your system I would say your weakest link likely to be your preamp/phono stage. These two components are critical in getting the most out of your turntable. Looking at your TT / cartridge… I would put all the funds you can into a high end preamp and phono stage, go for used at $2,000. More would be better. This should get you to the next level. |
@infection : Unsure as to the specific tonearm. It is original to the TT purchased about 6 years ago.
