Upgrading from Rega P5 TT

The P5 would be a lateral move, as others have said. Also, many people do not consider the P7 enough of an upgrade over the P5 to justify the price increase. Most say you need to step up to the P9 to significantly upgrade.

Whetstone audio in Austin, TX has a P9 for $3K. Brian is a great person to deal with.

The P9 is out of my price range. I think the best bet for me is to upgrade the cart.
Dynavector 20x2L or Sheltar 501MK
I listen to rock and on the other side of the fence Sinatra and Elvis.
So I need a cart that convey a wide spectrum of music.

Hi, I am sure the p6 is better...but I come from the camp that you can't spend enough on the table/arm....if you can, I'd spring for best you can...

I have to agree with Jfrech here. If the P9 is too much, the P7 is a definite upgrade, grab one while you can. I've been down that road of putting a better cartridge on a weaker table, it's just a waste of money IMHO. You would be better served just buying some new LP's with that extra money.

I have decided on getting the P7.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and input
