Wish to Upgrade Phono Stage and Cart


My current setup is a Rega P10/Apheta 3 cart sending signal to an Allnic H5500. It sound is very pleasing to my ears. 

I placed the Allnic H5500 in front of my vintage Yamaha CR820 and Technics SL1800. Wow. Did not see that coming. I could listen to that all day. 

My current setup is a Allnic T2000 30the Anniversary integrated. My Turntable a Rega P10.

I entertained getting an Allnic H8000 dht but feel that's a bit overkill for my system. I'm now entertaining an Allnic H7000 along with a Cart, perhaps Rose or Amber (all in the family) or even the Rega Auro with the Aphelion cart. 

I'm not the sophisticated/knowledgable audiophile when it comes to vinyl setups. Too much focus on digital over the years I guess, so I look for advice from this knowlegable forum.

No need to remove the arm on the Rega for VTA adjustments as there are two piece spacers available that you just loosen the screws/lock down nut and slide them in from the sides. Just sayin. Enjoy the music

Rega P10+ Rega Apheta

It's a  no fuss install and the only limitation is the signal  path downstream. 

Get a Minus K platform for absolute isolation.

Want more? Open wallet WIDE.

Phonostage- why not a lower  level Allnic?

Something different and lots of tubes - NVO Spa

Years ago the flavor of the month on Agon.

Presently enjoying the all tube Prima Luna Evo 100 under $4K.

Competes with other tube units subjectively up to $10+

Responds to tube rolling, but good out of the box. Very quiet for all tube(rectifier and MC gain)

Aphelion seems like a logical choice but as others said, raising the VTA is an easy task if I wanted to explore Allnic cartridge gems.

I can get a nearly new Allnic H7000 a very deep discount, but it's still painfully expensive, especially given the cost of an Aphelion.

My wife has a system. No turntable in it thank God. We have a pretend-O-war regarding who's system sounds the best. It's neck and neck...
