Rega P5 owners


I recently purchased a Rega P5 & Exacta cartridge. I would like some feedback from owners (or others) on the TT PSU option (power supply unit). Does it offer a true sonic improvement? Until I can get a record vacumm cleaner what is a good option to keep records clean?

It makes the music flow better - more relaxing to listen to and better articulation of certain details. Get the power supply before any other upgrades. I use mine with an Elsye2.
What cartridges are you guys using with the P5 and RB700 arm ? I'm thinking of building up a system on this TT.
Would appreciate some inputs.
I'm using Denon DL-103 MC cartridge with the P5. Sounds pretty darn good. I would equally be interested to know if there are other cartridges that would bring noticeable improvements compared to the Denon DL-103.
Hi RYder,

We are using the same speakers, the SHL5s.
A friend also recommended DL103 on the Rega P5.
Did you have to use the spacers with the 103 on the RB700 arm ?
Also, did you replace the stock counterweight on the RB700 ? does it have to be replaced when using the DL103 ?
I understand on Dynavectors, its best to replace those counterweights ?

Thanks for inputs.
