looking for phono suggestions

The P7 is one SWEET table. I do agree that you could probably do better for the same amount of money, but if your dealer only sells Rega, the P7 will be an excellent choice.

I would also see if you could trade up to the Dynavector DV20X2H cartridge.

Hi Bill....get your Rega off of its rubber feet. Use Cardas Blocks or points. That alone is a great improvement. Get the arm rewired, and change to a dropped counterweight. This too will make you smile. Try my first suggestion and then see where you are. I wouldn't replace the Rowland...they make good stuff.

Well, you have probably 20 or so turntables to audition. Nottingham, Avid, Acoustic Signature, Clearaudio, Kuzma, VPI, Mitchell, better Regas etc. How far do you want to go and how quickly? Do you plan to upgrade every year or every five years? How important is vinyl to you?
