Rega p-5 cart upgrade

Fripp1

I think you will be very happy. Let me know what your impressions once you get it installed.

Glad you are happy with your choice. When I had my P5 w/Exact I was satisfied with the combo. When I upgraded to the P7 I kept the Exact as a backup and went with the DV20X-H. Another great combo, had to add 4mm of spacers for this cartridge.

Yes, I have heard nothing but good about the DV20X. My dealer had the Glider SL in stock so I just went with that one for now.

About that P-7 you got there.... what differences did you notice from the P-5 to 7? My dealer may have a used P7 coming in next year so... thinking about making that move as well.

thanks.

forget the p7. keep your p5 and put the groove tracer subplatter and platter on it and you basically have a p7 or better.

No_money,

I brought home my Rega with the Benz Micro Glider installed in it. I have been, in a phrase, blown away since.

I accepted that analog was likely superior to digital, I just hadn't heard it in my own system. I have a Cambridge 840C cdp and that was/is awfully damn good for my digital front end, especially with the best recordings and especially in the SHM cd format.

But this Micro Benz Glider is a whole level up. Now I can't imagine would really good speakers would do for me, or if it's even worth worrying about. I feel like I'm at that point where so many of us feel like, or have felt like, we simply don't have to upgrade any further (before we inevitably do, of course. :-) )
