Upgrading from Rega P5 TT

If you want a P7 there is a dealer in Colorado that has a demo listed at 1795.oo

I am not a dealer just have done business here and have been very impressed with the owners TT knowledge.

Otherwise I would jump from a P5 to a P9 MusicDirect is closing them out at 4K

Trip,

I think it really depends on how much of jump you want in performance. I do feel that the RP6 is a very, very good table at is price point. And you most likely would see some improvement. But, if you are looking for a significant jump in performance level, then your best bet may to be to look at the new RP8, or find a good deal on one of the remaining P9's that are around.

Damn! I can't believe that Rega is dropping the P9 too!

I see that Music Direct also has a demo P7 for sale at $1649 here. It looks like they also still have a B stock model for $1795 here and here.

I didn't see any P9's though.

I have the GT Subplatter, counterweight
power supply
GCPH phono
10x5 Dynavector cart.

Maybe I should upgrade my cart, budget would be $800-1200
or
sell the P5 and pop for the P7.

I want to thank everyone for their input.
