upgrading the analog setup


hi everybody
i�m listening to last joe walsh lp (love the man) and start thinking to upgrade my entire analogue chain.
I�m now a owner of a rega P5, denon 103, lehmann black cube se prephono.

For the cart I�m sure I�ll go with a dynavector 20X2L (loved very well a former 10X5).
That�s the only certainty.
For the TT on my list now there are:

Rega rp8 (2100 euro)
Well Tempered Amadeus (2800 euro + cable rca)
Linn LP12 (which incarnation?)
Technics sl 1200 + pbthals�s arm
a VPI
sota (my dealer sells them)

and for the pre phono a have no f idea I heard good things about AVID and the dynavector p75 mkIII but to compensate the solid state integrated I was thinking a tube one..

Any input would be greatly appreciated

thanks

ps unfortunately I cannot audition any components but the sota.

it depends..I can always upgrade one component at time..anyway for the table I don't want to spend more than 2500 dollars..
You might like the Zesto Andros, as far as phono pre goes. George Counnas has yet to produce a product that fails to win product of the year in some category. Saw one on this site used, barely, for $3300. Personally have a BAT but if I were in the market that's what I would but.
Regarding the turntable, have you considered maxing out the P5 with available upgrades? Might be your best bang for the buck for right now while you save for a big jump in turntable and arm.

You could add the PSU (power supply upgrade) as well as a wire upgrade for the arm such as Incognito. I would also change the felt mat to the mat from Herbie audio that is the same thickness as the felt mat so there would not be a VTA issue for the Rega arm. I would also upgrade the weight in the back of the arm.

Finally, would add some isolation with a Symposium svelte shelf if the budget allows or footers from Herbie's audio if the budget is tight.

Hope this helps.
