Next upgrade for vinyl rookie

Well, Trip your arm clearly exceeds the capability of your table. I'd look at that option, and if you have to wait a little to save the money, do that. The table will yield the most sonic benefits.

Thanks for all the advice. I will have to decide now to either get the Monolithic Phono amp or the Rega P3, either way the investment will be worth it.

Trip, If all you are stepping up to is a P3, then I don't recommend it. The main difference between a P2 and P3 is the cost of the arm. You may not even hear any difference between those 2 tables. Moving to a P3 could hardly be called an upgrade from a P2. You need to make more of a move than that to get any real results. Save your money for a higher level table. Just listen to what you've got while you're waiting.

I'd recommend the phono stage if you are thinking along the lines of a P3 for a table upgrade(upgrade?).

Thank's Twl and everyone for your input.I'd hate to make a rookie mistake.
