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?
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.
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 ?
I didn't have any spacers with the cartridge and everything is stock on the RB700 arm including the counterweight. Everything works out fine. I have no experience with Dynavectors. Good to know you are also using the SHL5s. The strength of the P5 shines through with the transparency of the speakers.
