Upgrading from Rega P5 TT

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
Happy Holidays
