That's interesting. All the dealers or Rega owners I have talked with have said that the P5 is a big step up from the P3, but the P7 is not much better, at least not for double the money of the P5. They recommend going all the way up to the P9 after the P5. For what it's worth, Art Dudley of Stereophile has written that he considers the P9 to be one of the very best tables out there. I have never auditioned the P7 or P9 myself, but I do consider the P5 a definite step up from the P3, and that TTPSU makes a big difference as well.
Rega's T/T power supply: Is it worth the money?
I recently purchased a Rega P3-24 turntable with their Elys II cartridge. So far I have enjoyed what I have heard, but have played less than 25% of my LP's. I have read some reviews of Rega's TT PSU power supply as part of reviews of their tables. Nevertheless, at $375, it seems pricey considering the table and cartridge retail for $1200--- that is, the PS costs almost 30% of the rig. I have read that the difference with it in line range from subtle to a marked improvement in the sound. I would like input from members who own or have owned this upgrade....Also would the Project SpeedBox II work with the Rega P3-24??. Thanks, Jim
