I want more from my Rega P5


How can I get more from my Rega P5? My expectation of a modest analog rig exceeding a digital set up is left unfilled. I bought the Rega P5 new with a Dynavector 10x5, a Dynavector pre amp amd Chord Cameleon Silver plus interconnects and put it on a Rega wall stand. I will buy the TT PSU soon, to assure myself I am giving this format a chance. Any advice will be gratefully received.

Regas are extremely sensitive to being absolutely level. When slightly out of level the sound can be harsh. I guess this is due to rocking in the main bearing. So make sure it's absolutely level.

Also, since you bought it has it ever been stored in a manner that might allow any oil to leak from the bearing ? Regas also are very sensitive to having adequate oil in the bearing, of a sufficient viscosity.

I think the power supply may be a good upgrade as speed stability is critical in LP replay, but unfortunately speed stability is not the strongest element of the Rega.
