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.
