Rega p-5 cart upgrade

No-$,
When you get an answer (hopefully quickly!) please let me know. Coincidentally, the Elyss in my P5 crapped out tonight and I was coming here to do initial research into a replacement. I just had to replace four tubes in my Mac preamp yesterday. Cripes, this stuff costs money...

No$, Interesting. I made the same choice and hadn't come back here since my initial post/response. I'd narrowed my options down to about three and my dealer basically said that the Glider was the winner hands, down. I won't be getting mine until after the holidays, however, due to financing restraints.

No_money,

I brought home my Rega with the Benz Micro Glider installed in it. I have been, in a phrase, blown away since.

I accepted that analog was likely superior to digital, I just hadn't heard it in my own system. I have a Cambridge 840C cdp and that was/is awfully damn good for my digital front end, especially with the best recordings and especially in the SHM cd format.

But this Micro Benz Glider is a whole level up. Now I can't imagine would really good speakers would do for me, or if it's even worth worrying about. I feel like I'm at that point where so many of us feel like, or have felt like, we simply don't have to upgrade any further (before we inevitably do, of course. :-) )
