Sharing my excitement........new Rega P3-24 table

Well, thanks to all the great stuff I've learned from all of you via previous threads and e-mails, and by reading MANY reviews and commentaries, I finally upgraded my analog front end. I sold my terrific workhorse NAD 533 table/Goldring Elektra set-up (with upgraded Rega glass platter), and bought a brand new Rega P3-24 table with the Rega Exact 2 cartridge installed by my dealer. (Kudos to Rich @ Signature Sound....a great learning/transaction experience.)

My initial listening impressions....WOW !!! An extremely noticeable improvement in all areas, and I am very happy. I know that there are a million reasons to buy "better" tables, "better" cartridges, etc., etc. I know that a lot of you folks prefer the Dynavector 10x5 or the Ortofon 2M Black, or the Benz ACE H over the Rega Exact. BUT.....ya' know what ?......To my ears, with my system, this P3-24 / Exact combination is a winner.

So, I just wanted to share my happiness over this purchase with all of you. When I have a chance this weekend, I'll update my system photos. Again, thanks for all your advice and help. HAPPY LISTENING !!!

Congrats on you new TT! I clicked over to your system thread and noticed you have a lot of vinyl to listen to. A great looking set-up too!
I agree- "to your ears" is what matters.
Happy Holidays!

Congrats!!! Now the secret is to hold on to that happy feeling for as long as possible. It will help eliminate the upgrade bug and extend that happy feeling if you stop reading these threads and the glossy rags.......and just enjoy the music.

Peace,
John

Thanks for the positive responses so far. As you all know by my many previous threads, I do indeed "enjoy the music," and it's great to now have a TT that will make my record collection sound so much better.
And, yes, Piedpiper, I did audition the TT-PSU, and I heard a definite improvement. That will be my next purchase, probably early Spring.
