Help me improve Rega P2


Wondering about the most (cost) effective tweaks to improve my P2. Currently have a Goldring Elektra cartridge and feeds into a Creek OBH-8 phono stage and then into solid state preamp and amp. Speakers are Symphonic Line Legato. I would think that a new cartridge might provide biggest change but wonder what others would think. Considering the Rega Bias 2 or Elys 2 mostly for ease of installation and alignment as well as presumed synergy. Certainly I'm open to other suggestions. Other considerations would be a new sub-platter(the one from Argentina) or new mat. Should mention that I have the glass platter, white belt and thick felt mat. Don't really have a specific complaint about the current system except that I suspect it can sound better. Perhaps more full sound or better bass. Willing to spend up to $300 so not interested in suggestions to get a better TT.
Thanks in advance. Jim

Thanks Al for the response. I did not go back to the manual and went on recollection, which at my age is suspect. I am sure the ‘below 200pF’ is correct, not 100pF. Anyway, is seems logical that this low value rec would include that added by tonearm wire.
Thanks again for all of the responses. Picking a new cartridge is not nearly as straightforward as I would have thought. Capacitance matching certainly seems to throw a new wrinkle into this. More to think about.

Happy New Year to all.

You will get large gains with the Mapleshade maple base and brass footers system ~ $115~$150. Money left over for rewire or mat
I would call NeedleDoctor and ask what they recommend as matching the OBH. They sell several cartridges and phonostages.
