Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table

I am currently using a Benz-Micro Mc 20 E 2 cartridge.

The rest of my system is
Harbeth Compact 7 ES2 or Proac Response 2
Quad 99/909 or Aronov 960i
Fosgate Phono Preamp

No price range, but I do not want to upgrade the TT right now.

I listen mostly to folk music and jazz with some occasional classic rock thrown in the mix.

I would appreciate input and suggestions on this. Thanks.

For $1350 plus your Rega P25 you should have enough to buy a VPI Classic - new TT and better arm or Scout II.
Alternately the cheapest upgrade for the P25 would be Rega power supply and groovetracer bearing/platter which would yield significant improvements.

I used a Glider on the 25 that I owned and enjoyed for few years. Benz carts are good choices for the Rega arms.

Thanks for all of the input. I am still looking for a deal on a dynavector cartridge right now.

You can't use the TT-PSU Rega power supply on the P25 unless you first upgrade the motor to the newer 24v that Rega offers.
