Upgrade cartridge or something else?

Here's a friend's turntable:

Current model Rega P3 with the RB330 arm. It has been upgraded with the Groovetracer Reference sub-platter, the Rega tungsten counterweight, the Rega white belt and the Rega Neo PSU speed controller along with a linear power supply upgrade.

The first cartridge was the Rega Elys 2. The Elys 2 was replaced by the Clearaudio Performer ($400 at that time), which was a definite improvement in sound quality.

Do you think that this table is where it should be or should the Clearaudio Performer be upgraded and if so, what would the practical dollar limit be in this case? Should he consider doing something else instead?

Thank you for your input.

The point is it’s in poor taste for a dealer or manufacturer to offer up unsolicited ad copy in this forum. No matter how much you or anyone else thinks it’s a “ridiculous” price.

Consider yourself enlightened.......

 I didn't know we needed permission from anyone to have an opinion, but I will check with you in the future so not to offend the people policing these things. Enjoy the music

When you have a product as good as the Teo Audio CBP cartridge at the ridiculous price and a money back guarantee that they are selling it for, it would be shameful not to bring it up. Just sayin. enjoy the music

So going forward, this is the gold standard for advertising in the discussion forums? I'm glad you said something so now I will just hawk anything I have for sale in here. tooblue said it was ok.......

You had your opinion about manufacturers advertising in the forum, and I had mine. How does that make me the "forum police"? 

If you can't accept that, you might not internet well.......

Why would you say that this forum is open to all under the rules, polices, and guidleines established for the group it is not for you to establish and determine who can participate here and attack those who you think "don’t belong."
Ok, where do you draw the line. If a manufacturer can advertise what he has for sale in THIS forum, why can’t I. Why can’t you?

Slippery slope.....

BTW, your definition of "attack" and mine differ ever so slightly.

There is no reason to buy cartridges from questionable suppliers who may not be around in a year. When you hear "money back guarantee," alarms should go off.


Be careful, you'll be accused of attacking.......
