Upgrade modded P25 to P7 or uprade cartridge

I would not discount the impact of the TT PSU. Can you order that separately for your p25? I am not that familiar with the rega current designs (I did have a p25 years ago).

I'd add this to the list to consider...Good luck!

I have considered a speed controller, Jfreck, but for the price, I'm not too far off from an upgrade to a pre-owned P7, which comes with a TT-PSU.

What I would do, is upgrade to the P7 and start with the Dyna cart you already have, it is a good one.

Then, when funds allow, feel free to upgrade your cart

Dear Johnbender: There are options on your budget, some of this options for second hand vintage " great " cartridges like these:

As you can see there are several good options.

I would recommend that you upgrade to the P5 instead of the P7 - it will cost you half as much, and you will get what most Rega dealers will tell you is alot more value for the money. It is a significant upgrade from the P2, I have had both in my system.
