Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table

You can't use the TT-PSU Rega power supply on the P25 unless you first upgrade the motor to the newer 24v that Rega offers.

Jperry,

If you live in the US you can't get the Heed power supply-at one time it was sold in the US, but not anymore.

I upgraded from a P25 to a P7 and have never looked back. The P25 is a very nice table; but it is essentially an upgraded P3. You could upgrade the P25 motor and add a TT-PSU, but then you still have a P25. The Rega 7s you've seen are probably not B stock items, I think Rega is about to drop the P7 with a new table coming out to replace it. Personally, I would opt for a new P7, at $1,800 it is a major steal.

Hi Jperry,

I know that there are some that will disagree with this, but I think that the P7 is the sweet spot of the Rega line-you get 85-90% of the performance of the P9 at half the price. I find that it is a significantly better table than the P5-and at $1800 vs $1300 a no brainer. You get a dedicated power supply-no electronics on the table at all, the same bearing assembly and sub-platter from the P9, a metal double pulley assembly, and the ceramic platter.

Yes, it is a difficult descision-the important to remember is that whatever you get will provide you with thousands of hours of enjoyment, so you need to be comfortable with your purchase. Enjoy the chase!
