Rega P10 with Apheta 3


My local dealer has the Rega P10 with Apheta 3 cart open box (came in wrong color, so never used) for $5,100, retail $7,895. I was not looking for a new TT… but…

I love the look and feel of the P10, form factor is perfect, reviews are glowing and the price looks fantastic. However, I wasn’t looking to spend that money right now. 
My current system:

Pro-ject 1Xpression carbon classic with Hana ML cart

Rega Aria phono stage

Rogue RP-1 pre with NOS Telefunkon medical, Siemens nickel plate & Brimar CV4003 NOS tubes (rolling)

LSA Warp 1 amp

KEF R11 speakers

Rythmic F12SE sub

Aurender N150 streamer

Chord Qutest DAC

My question is would the P10 fit with my system… would it be overkill… is it worth the investment?
I am actually hoping you can talk me out of it! Thanks!

You got a beautiful system. There is always room for improvement when it comes to vinyl playback due to its inherent limitations. Each addition we hope will minimize these error and bring us closer to the real thing. Its tricky pulling this thing without the kitchen pass. Can you afford this table and a pair of diamond ear rings or a diamond bracelet? 🤣 Who knows that might get you the kitchen pass for much longer duration so that you can add a better cartridge or even a phono stage. 😆
