I just purchased the P8 w/ Apheta 3 cart. into PS Audio $2500 phono pre. Unbelievable "you are there" sound and quiet as a mouse. Better sounding than my 25K digital setup....My record collection has come alive. I haven't had late night listening sessions like this in years. Thanks Rich @ Signature Sound in Liverpool NY. ps....I had the Parasound phono pre but sent it back. Not impressed.

I was somewhat in the same boat last year. Got the itch for a new TT.

I have a MoFi Ultra deck with the MoFi phono preamp.  I felt I could make the next major jump in many areas if I picked up a newer, more expensive TT. What I ended up doing was adding a Hana ML cartridge and a Parasound JC3 Jr. I am very pleased with the results. Everything is in such tight focus, more open and smooth sounding too. Now I feel I'd have to take out a loan to make any major improvement. I guess I'll have focus my upgrade(itis) elsewhere. 

When upgrading a turntable, you need to go up substantially to make an improvement. I started with a Rega P1 and thought I could go up to P6P8 and there was not a lot of difference between them. I wind up getting a clear audio performance DC with a AMG cartridge and a musical surroundings battery Operated Phono stage

+2 a better Phono-Pre will make a significant improvement.

I currently us a Zesto Andros 1.2.  It was one of the best upgrades that I have ever made.  Also, the 12AX7 JJ tubes last for thousands of hours, are inexpensive and available from all of the typical web-stores.

Good luck!
