Rega P5 owners


I recently purchased a Rega P5 & Exacta cartridge. I would like some feedback from owners (or others) on the TT PSU option (power supply unit). Does it offer a true sonic improvement? Until I can get a record vacumm cleaner what is a good option to keep records clean?

I'm using Denon DL-103 MC cartridge with the P5. Sounds pretty darn good. I would equally be interested to know if there are other cartridges that would bring noticeable improvements compared to the Denon DL-103.
I have heard that a Rega P3-24 with TT PSU will sound almost similar to the basic P5. Is this true? I do know that the P5 with TT PSU will outperform the P3-24 with TT PSU. I am considering between the P3-24 with TT PSU and the basic P5 and would appreciate your views. Thanks in advance.
Hi Nolitan,

I didn't have any spacers with the cartridge and everything is stock on the RB700 arm including the counterweight. Everything works out fine. I have no experience with Dynavectors. Good to know you are also using the SHL5s. The strength of the P5 shines through with the transparency of the speakers.
